Describe the difference between Standard Compaction and Modified Compaction in a laboratory compaction test. Describe the expected difference in optimum moisture content between the two tests. 3. 1870 g of wet soil is compacted into a mould of volume of 1000 cm3, and then oven dried at 1100 for 24 hrs. The weight of the soil is measured at 1677 g, and the specific gravity Gs, is known to be 2.66. Determine (a) the moisture content (b) the bulk density in kg/m3 (c) dry density in kg/m3 (d) void ratio and (e) degree of saturation. | FaceLEarrow_forward
- In its natural state the soil in a borrow pit, the total (moist) unit weight is 120 lb/ft3, and the water (moisture) content is 20 %. The result of the Modified compaction test of the soil of the borrow pit is given in the figure below. The soil from the borrow pit will be used to construct a compacted fill. The construction of the fill requires 10,000 ft3 of compacted soil. The specifications required that the compaction of the fill be performed at the optimum moisture content to obtain the maximum dry unit weight for fill. How much (volume in ft3) must be excavated from the borrow pit?
