Question:
The initial water content of the sample in Problem 8.12 is 105.7%, and the density of the solids ρs = 2.70 Mg/m3. Compute the wet and dry density and degree of saturation of the consolidation test sample if the dry weight of the sample is 52.8 g. If the final water content is 59.6%, compute the degree of saturation and dry density at the end of consolidation.?
