Question:
The wet density of a sand in an embankment was found to be 1.85 Mg/m3 and the field water content was 12%. In the laboratory, the density of the solids was found to be 2.71 Mg/m3, and the maximum and minimum void ratios were 0.65 and 0.38, respectively. Calculate the relative density of the sand in the field.?
