Problem $2$

For a given soil, the following are known: $G=2\mathrm{.}75,$ moist unit weight $()=19\mathrm{.}0k\frac{N}{m^3}$ and

moisture content $(w)=17\mathrm{.}6.$ Draw a phase diagram and Determine:

a$.-$ Dry unit weight.

b$.$ Void ratio.

c$.$ Porosity.

d$.-$ Degree of saturation

e$.-$ Determine the weight of water $($in $kN)$ to be added per cubic meter $(m^3)$ of soil for $100\%$ of

degree of saturation.
