1.Soil has been compacted in an embankment at a bulk density of 2.15 Mg/m^3 and a water content of 12%. The value of Gs is 2.65. Calculate the dry density, void ratio, degree of saturation and air content. Would it be possible to compact the above soil at a water content of 13.5% to a dry density of 2.00 Mg/m^3?

2.A soil specimen is 38 mm in diameter and 76 mm long and in its natural condition weighs 168.0 g. When dried completely in an oven the specimen weighs 130.5 g. The value of Gs is 2.73. What is the degree of saturation of the specimen?

3.Calculate the dry unit weight, the saturated unit weight and the buoyant unit weight of a soil having a void ratio of 0.70 and a value of Gs of 2.72. Calculate also the unit weight and water content at a degree of saturation of 75%.
