Reference no: EM13269741

A sample of clay was obtained from a point below the groundwater table. A moisture content test on this sample produced the following data:

Mass of can = 10.88 g

Mass of can + moist soil = 116.02 g

Mass of can + dry soil = 85.34 g

Assume a reasonable value for Gs, and then compute the void ratio, unit weight, dry unit weight and buoyant unit weight.
