A soil proposed for a compacted fill contains 38% fines and 62% coarse materials by dry weight. when the coars fraction has w=2.0%, its affinity of water is completely satisfied( that is,it is saturated but surface dry). The atterberg limits of the fines are LL=31 and PL=13. The soil is compacted by rolling to a pd=1.95Mg/m cubed. at w=15% Note: This is the water content of the entire soil mixture.
what is the water content and liquidity index of the fines in compacted mass?
