A saturated sample has a mass 0.69 kilograms when wet and 0.5 kg when dry. Assuming that the
specific gravity is 2.7, compute the void ratio, porosity and dry density of this material.
Solution
water content (w) = (wet weight -dry weigt)/dry weight
=(0.69-0.5)/0.5
=0.38
void ratio(e) = (wG)/s
=0.38*2.7/1
=1.026
porosity=(e/(1+e))
=1.026/(1+1.026)
=0.51
dry density=G*unit weight of water(1+e)
=2.7*62.43/(1+1.026)
=83.2 lb/ft3
