Answer:

A substantial proportion of bridge accidents occur during the bridge's construction. These mishaps are frequently caused by an engineering error, such as a miscalculation. The bridge collapses under its own weight, which can be fatal to the employees who are working on it at the moment.

A saturated 1.5 ft3 clay sample has a natural water content of 25%, shrinkage limit (SL) of 12% and a specific gravity (GS) of 2

Svetllana [295]

$79 f t^{3}$ is the volume of the sample when the water content is 10%.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given Data:

$V_{1}=100\ \mathrm{ft}^{3}$

First has a natural water content of 25% = $\frac{25}{100}$ = 0.25

Shrinkage limit, $w_{1}=12 \%=\frac{12}{100}=0.12$

$G_{s}=2.70$

We need to determine the volume of the sample when the water content is 10% (0.10). As we know,

$V \propto[1+e]$

$\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}=\frac{1+e_{2}}{1+e_{1}}$ ------> eq 1

$e_{1}=\frac{w_{1} \times G_{s}}{S_{r}}$

The above equation is at $S_{r}=1$ ,

$e_{1}=w_{1} \times G_{s}$

Applying the given values, we get

$e_{1}=0.25 \times 2.70=0.675$

Shrinkage limit is lowest water content

$e_{2}=w_{2} \times G_{s}$

Applying the given values, we get

$e_{2}=0.12 \times 2.70=0.324$

Applying the found values in eq 1, we get

$\frac{V_{2}}{100}=\frac{1+0.324}{1+0.675}=\frac{1.324}{1.675}=0.7904$

$V_{2}=0.7904 \times 100=79\ \mathrm{ft}^{3}$
