Example 4
A soil sample is prepared by mixing a certain mass of dry soil (density of solid particles 2,65gcm3) with 10% water by mass. Some of this mixture is used to fill a cylinder, 150 mm diameter and 125 mm deep. After compaction the soil still has 4.0% air voids. Calculate the mass of the mixture in the cylinder, the void ratio and the dry density.
