Problem 3: (25 points) The modified Proctor test (ASTM D 698, method C) was performed for a soil with Gs = 2.67. The maximum dry unit weight was 19kN/m3 at optimum water content of 9%. 1. Calculate the degree of saturation at the maximum dry unit weight 2. Calculate the void ratio at the maximum dry unit weight 3. What is the total unit weight at the optimum water content? 4. If the void ratio at the maximum dry unit weight is the most deosg the soil can be, would the void ratio at the samples loosest state be a higher of loyer number (circle
