Question:
During the determination of the shrinkage limit of a sandy clay, the following laboratory data was obtained:
Wet wt. of soil + dish = 91.04 g
Dry wt. of soil + dish = 78.22 g
Wt. of dish = 51.55 g
Volumetric determination of soil pat:
Wt. of dish + mercury = 430.80 g
Wt. of dish = 244.62 g
Calculate the shrinkage limit of the soil, assuming ρs = 2.65 Mg/m3.?
