Answer:
Relative density = 0.545
Degree of saturation = 24.77%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Water content, w = 5%
Bulk unit weight = 18.0 kN/m³
Void ratio in the densest state, = 0.51
Void ratio in the loosest state, = 0.87
Now,
Dry density,
= 17.14 kN/m³
Also,
here, G = Specific gravity = 2.7 for sand
or
e = 0.545
Relative density =
=
= 0.902
Also,
Se = wG
here,
S is the degree of saturation
therefore,
S(0.545) = (0.05)()2.7
or
S = 0.2477
or
S = 0.2477 × 100% = 24.77%
