A sample of soil was tested; the results were
void ratio e = 1.024
moisture content w = 33.4%
specific gravity of solids Gs = 2.75
Using a phase diagram, determine the following:
a) The soil's bulk, dry and saturated unit weights, and degree ofsaturation;
b) The volume of air void in 1m^3 of this soil; and
c) The weight of water required to fully saturate the 1m^3 soil
