A sample of argillaceous soil with a volume of 1x10-3 m3


A sample of argillaceous soil with a volume of 1x10-3 m3 and a mass of 1.762 kg, after oven dried, has a mass of 1.368 kg. The relative density of the grains is equal to 2.69. Determine, for the sample in its original condition:
a) dry unit weight
b) moisture content
c) voids
d) voids filled with air (expressed as% of voids = Sa = degree of air saturation)

Considering a sample of this soil completely saturated by water, which has not undergone fading in the process of saturation (ie, assuming that it has the same voids above), determine, also:
e) moisture content
f) overall specific weight.
