Compute the volume of the water squeezed out of the clay

Reference no: EM13315336

A 10,000 ft3 mass of saturated clay had a void ratio of 0.962 and a specific gravity of solids of 2.71. A fill was then placed over this clay, causing it to compress. However, the volume of the solids remained unchanged. After this was complete, the void ratio has become 0.758.

(a) Compute the initial and final moisture content of the clay.

(b) Compute the new volume of the clay.
