A saturated 1.5 ft3 clay sample has a natural water content of 25%, shrinkage limit (SL) of 12% and a specific gravity (GS) of 2.70. Determine the volume of the sample when the water content is 10%.

is the volume of the sample when the water content is 10%.

Explanation:

Given Data:

First has a natural water content of 25% = = 0.25

Shrinkage limit,

We need to determine the volume of the sample when the water content is 10% (0.10). As we know,

 ------> eq 1

The above equation is at ,

Applying the given values, we get

Shrinkage limit is lowest water content

Applying the given values, we get

Applying the found values in eq 1, we get
