I now have to answer the following question and I can't figure it out. >>>>> Define relative density of a substance. Describe how you used the relative density to I performed an experiment to calcuate the amount of carbohydrate in sugar solutions by using a …

The values of emin and emax for a pure silica sand (Gs = 2.653) were found to be 0.632 and 0.962, respectively. a) What is the corresponding range in dry density (in kg/m3 ) and dry unit weight (in kN/m3 )? b) If the in-situ void ratio is 0.762, what is the relative density? Give a term to classify the relative density. c) If 1.2 kg of dry soil ...

What are its relative compaction(%) and dry density (kg/m3)? The maximum and minimum dry densities of a sand were determined in the laboratory to be 1682kg/m3 and 1510kg/m3, respectively. In the field, if the relative density of compaction of the same sand is 70%.

A granular soil with Gs = 2.65, emax = 0.870, and emin- 0.515 is compacted to a moist unit weight of 110.4 lb/ftf' at moisture content of 10.5%. What is the relative density of this compacted sand? 2.5

In a construction project, the field moist unit weight was 115 lb/ft3 at a moisture content of 8 %. If maximum and minimum dry unit weight determined in the laboratory were 108 lb/ft3 and 92 lb/ft3 respecttively, what was the field relative density ?

A cylindrical tank of diameter 3d contains water in which a solid circular cylinder of length l and diameter d floats with its axis vertical. Oil is poured into the tank so that the length of the float finally protruding above the oil surface is l/20. What vertical movement of the float has taken place? Relative density of oil 0.8, of cylinder ...

The unit weight, relative density, water content, and specific gravity of solids of a given sand are 17.98 kN/m^3, 62%, 7.6%, and 2.65, respectively. If the minimum void ratio for this soil is 0.35, what would be its maximum void ratio? What is its unit weight in the loosest condition?

Laboratory tests performed to determine the maximum and minimum dry unit weights give values of 122 pcf and 102 pcf, respectively. Derive an expression for the relative density in terms of the dry unit weight, the maximum dry unit weight and the minimum dry unit weight. From these data, what is the relative density of the soil?
