Calculate the degree of saturation and dry density

Reference no: EM13313209

Soil has been compacted in an earth dam to a bulk density of 2.2 Mg/m3 and a water content of 9.5%. The value of Gs is 2.6.

Calculate:

a) Dry Density
b) Void Ratio
c) degree of saturation
d) 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/m3?
