Determine the void-ratio and shrinkage limit, Civil Engineering

Assignment Help:

An oven-dry soil sample of volume 225 cm3 weighs 3.90 N. If the grain specific gravity is 2.72, determine the void-ratio and shrinkage limit. What will be the water content which will fully saturate the sample and also cause an enhance in volume equal to 8% of the original dry volume?
