Question:
In a cone penetration test on a fine-grained soil sample, the following results were recorded.
Test No. | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Cone Penetration (mm) | 11.76 | 14.75 | 17.96 | 22.77 |
Mass of Container (g) | 10.07 | 9.91 | 9.93 | 10.06 |
Mass of Container and Wet Soil (g) | 24.22 | 25.46 | 25.14 | 25.00 |
Mass of Conatainer and Dry Soil (g) | 23.58 | 22.41 | 21.71 | 20.25 |
Moisture Content (%) |
Assuming the plastic limit was 13.4 % and the natural moisture content of 29.5 %.
- Determine the moisture content for Test No. 1.
- Determine the moisture content for Test No. 2
- Determine the moisture content for Test No. 3.
- Determine the moisture content for Test No. 4
- Determine the liquid limit of the soil sample.
- Determine the plasticity index of the soil sample
- Determine the liquidity index of the soil sample.
