Calculate the degree of saturation and air content

Reference no: EM13321221

Soil has been compacted in an embankment at a bulk density of 2.15 Mg/m^3 and a water content of 12%. The value of Gs is 2.65. Calculate the dry density, void ratio, degree of saturation and air content. Would it be possible to compact the above soil at a water content of 13.5% to a dry density of 2.00 Mg/m^3?
