Question 10

A saturated soil sample has a volume of 23 cm³ at liquid limit. The shrinkage limit and liquid limit are 18% and 45% respectively. The specific gravity of solids is 2.73. The minimum volume which can be attained by the soil is _________ cm³.

Question 11

In order to determine the relative density of a sand sample, its in-situ dry density was found to be 1.53 gm/cc. Soil sample were then compacted in a proctor’s mould of 1/30 cft. capacity, at loosest and the densest state. The following data were obtained:

Wt. of empty mould = 2100 gm

Wt. of mould + soil in the densest state = 3855 gm

Wt. of mould + soil in the loosest state = 3380 gm

Moisture content = 15%

Then relative density is
