empirical relationship (10 marks Question 2 A cylinder of soil has been retrieved from a trail pit for testing in a laboratory. The dimensions of the soil sample are 250mm diameter x 400mm. The mass of the sample in its natural state was 35.67 kg, with a specific gravity of 2.67. A small sub-sample was removed to allow the determination of the moisture content. This gave the following results: Mass of wet soil & dish = 128.36 gr Mass of dry soil & dish = 103.58 gr Mass of dish = 42.829 Determine: The moisture content The bulk density The dry density The bulk unit weight The voids ratio (10 marks) Briefly describe the common tests which could be used to classify the soil. (5 marks) 4301CIVH
