The optimum moisture content for Curve A is: 15.0%
Curve A represents: Modified Proctor Compaction Energy
For a standard Proctor Compaction test, a 104.4
sample was determined to have a total unit
weight of 118.0 pcf and a moisture content of
13%. What is the dry unit weight of this
sample?
The maximum dry density for Curve B is: 93.2%
What type of field compactor provides the A vibratory roller
best results in compacting sands?
Which of the following relationships is true Ymax is higher and Wopt is lower for the Modified test than for
concerning the maximum dry density (Ymax) the standard test
and optimum moisture content (Wopt) results
between standard Proctor and modified
Proctor tests?
In a flow net: Flow lines are perpendicular to equipotential (drop) lines
What is the flow under the dam if the 1- 3.5
permiability (k) of the soil is 1.0 ft/day? 2- 3.168
What is the factor of safety against a quick
condition if Ysaf = 100 pcf?
A sample of sand has a mass of 379.0 grams 12.46
in its natural state nd 337.0 grams after oven
drying. Determine the natural water content
of this soil.
With reference to the soil profile shown, 1 - 1248.6 psf
answer the following questions. 2 - 1250 psf
What is the pore water pressure at point A? 3 - 1676 PSF
What is the total stress at Point C?
What is the effective stress at point B?
If a consolidation test were conducted on a B. Cv
clay soil, which parameter from the test
results would be used to determine the time
rate of settlement?
One of the best methods for determining Cone penetration test
strength of soils when designing piles for a
deep foundation is:
Using the soil profile shown, what is the 60
shear strength of the soil at Point B? Yw =
9.81
