[10]1. A Modified Proctor compact test is performed on a soil sample. In one of the compaction trials, the following was obtained: Total mass of the soil in the compaction mold: 2092 g
Total volume of mold: 944cm3
To determine the water content of the soil for this trial, the following was measured:
Mass of tare: 24.50 g . Mass of wet soil + tare: 57.41g, Mass of dry soil + tare: 53.19 g
(a) Determine the water content of the soil for this trial.
(b) Determine the total mass density of the soil in gcm3.
(c) Determine the dry mass density d of the soil in gcm3.
(d) Assuming Gs=2.67, what is the void ratio e?
