Can you show step by step and explain each step with the solid working. Explain the formula used and also the relationship if the formulas applied for it. State the symbol or representative word with the full name of it so it makes it clear. Thank you
A)
A soil sample is found to have a bulk density of 1.8Mgm3 and a water
content of 15%. If the specific gravity of the soil particles is 2.65, determine
(i) the dry density, (ii) the porosity, (iii) the void ratio and (iv) the air void
content. Start your solution by drawing an appropriate phase diagram.
(Christmas exam 2018, Q1)
B)
If the maximum and minimum void ratio values are 0.7 and 0.65
respectively determine the density index and classify the sample.
