SAFARUDIN LA INSE 1. Determine void ratio, porosity, and degree of saturation of a soil core sample.

ple. Also determine the dry unit weight, d . data : Weight of soil sample (MT) = 1013 gram Volume of sil sample (VT ) = 585 cm3 Specific gravity (GS) = 2,65 Moisture content (W) = 12,1 % SOLUTION A. void ratio (e) e =

VT = Vs + VV Vs = volume solid VV = volume void

Mencari nilai Vs dan VV

Moisture content (W) = Where : = M water

MS = M solid 12,1 % = MS =

MS = 8,264

8,3

M total (MT) = : MT = + 8,3

+ MS

1013 gram = 9,3 = = 108,9 gram 109 gram

MT = : MS = MT -

+ MS

MS = 1013 gram 109 gram MS = 904 gram

GS = =1 VS = VS = VS = 341,1 cm3 VT = Vs + VV VV = VT - Vs VV = 585 cm3 - 341,1 cm3 VV = 243,9 cm3

void ratio (e) e =

e=
e = 0,715 B. Porosity (n)

n (%)
n=

n = 41,7 %

C. Degree of saturation (S)

s (%) = Vw = Vw =

= 109 cm3

s (%) =
S = 44,69 % = 44,7 %

D. Dry unit weight (

d =

d = 1, 55 gram/cm3
