Question: Q . 4 . A ) Two soil samples from the same soil type have the same dry density of 1 4 . 1 4

Q.4. A) Two soil samples from the same soil type have the same dry density of 14.14kNm3. The first one has wc=9.5% and the second was saturated, then double oedometer tests for both samples are performed. If Gs=2.7, e (@1kPa)=1.2,C1=0.09(for both saturated and unsaturated condition),Cc=0.30(for saturation condition), saturated Preconsolidation pressure =25kPa, unsaturated Preconsolidation pressure =190kPa,Sr=0.90,R=0.30, Find the collapse potential for the flowing net stresses: 10kPa,25 kPa,50kPa,100kPa,190kPa,400kPa,800kPa,2600kPa and draw the results. Note: CP%==(ACl+ee)**100(before & after wetting).

B) A Standard proctor (SP) compaction curve has the data shown in the table below. If Gs=2.7, the void ratios at normal consolidate line equal to 0.645 and 0.517 for stresses 596kPa and 2696kPa, respectively., Sr=0.85,R=0.40, Find the Modified Proctor (MP) curve (dry density and the water content for degree of saturations (Sr): 50%,70%,85%, and 90%) and Optimum moisture content (OMC) and maximum dry density () of MP.
