Question: A granular soil ( sand ) was tested in the laboratory and was found to have maximum and minimum void ratios of 0 . 8

A granular soil (sand) was tested in the laboratory and was found to have maximum and minimum void ratios of 0.84 and 0.38, respectively. The value of specific gravity (Gs) was 2.65. A natural deposit of the same sand has 9% moisture; its moisture unit weight is 18.64 kN/m^3. Determine the relative density of the soil in the field. Derive all necessary relationships.
