Determine the specific gravity of solids, Civil Engineering

Assignment Help:

The Atterberg limits of a clay soil are: Liquid limit = 63%, Plastic limit = 40%, and shrinkage limit = 27%. If a sample of this soil has a volume of 10 cm3 at the liquid limit and a volume of 6.4 cm3 at the shrinkage limit, verify the specific gravity of solids, shrinkage ratio, and volumetric shrinkage.
