Problem:
A soil with Gs=2.68 is compacted to a dry unit weight of 14.5 kN/m3 with a water content (w) of 14%
Required:
Question 1: What is the degree of saturation (S)?
Question 2: What is the total unit weight?
Question 3: If water is added to the soil to bring its saturation to 85%, what is the dry unit weight and total unit weight of the soil?
