During subsurface exploration for a new building, a sample of clay was recovered from a
depth of 15 feet below the ground surface. The moisture content of the soil was
measured and found to be 20%(dry mass basis, i.e., gravimetric). At this site, the ground
water table is at a depth of 10 feet below the surface. Calculate the following soil
properties: Degree of saturation, Sr(%), Total unit weight, (pcf), Dry unit weight (pcf),
Saturated unit weight, (pcf), and the void ratio, e.
During subsurface exploration for a new building,
