A soil is compacted in a cylindrical mold with a volume of 950 cm at different water contents using the same compactive effort. The water contents and wet masses of the samples are given in Table. Specific gravity, Gs of soil is 2.68. a.) Plot the compaction curve and the zero-air voids line. b.) Determine the maximum dry unit weight (KN/m3) and the optimum water content. c.) Determine the void ratio and the degree of saturation at the optimum moisture content.
