What is the degree of saturation of the field sample

Reference no: EM13559327

Let us pretend you are an earthwork construction control inspector and you are checking the field compaction of a layer of soil. After compaction in the field, the density of soil was checked by excavating part of the compacted soil; the volume of soil excavated was 1153 cm^3; the moist weight of the soil was 2209g and the dry weight of the soil was 1879g. (hint 1g/cm^3 = 62.4 lb/ft^3)

A) What is the field water content

B) What is the compacted dry density?

C) What is the relative compaction in the field?

D) What is the degree of saturation of the field sample?
