    The document provides equations to calculate: 1) The unit weight γs of combined dry organic and mineral soil given the organic content M0, dry unit weights of organic solids γso and mineral solids γsm. 2) The voids ratio e of the soil, given the water content w and degree of saturation S, using the relationship between voids volume Vv, solids volume Vs, and water volume. 3) The specific equations show that γs is calculated based on the proportions of organic and mineral solids, and that e is calculated as the ratio of water volume to solids volume.

    Phase - 19

    You have been retained by the City of Hialeah to prepare a study of their “muck” soils. Assume that you
    know the dry unit weight of the material (solids) ?sm and the dry unit weight of the organic solids ?so .
    What is the unit weight ?s of the combined dry organic mineral soil whose organic content is M0 ? (The
    organic content is the percentage by weight of the dry organic constituent of the total dry weight of the
    sample for a given volume.) What is the voids ratio e of this soil, if it is known that its water content is
    w and its degree of saturation is S?

    Solution:

    Ws 1
    Set Ws = 1 units γs = =
    Vs (Vso + Vsm )

    (a) Assume Mo = Wo for a unit weight.of dry soil

    Therefore 1 - Mo = Wm

    Mo
    = volume of organic Vso solids
    γ so

    (1 - M o )
    = volume of mineral Vsm solids
    γ sm

    the total unit weight is the weight of a unit volume

    1  γ sm 
    Therefore γS = = γ so  
     Mo (1 - Mo )   M o ( γ sm - γ so ) + γ so ) 
     + 
     γ so γ sm 

     volume of water   weight of water   w ( weight of solids ) 


         
    Vv  S   γ wS   γwS 
    (b) e = = = =
    Vs Vs Vs Vs

     w 
     
     γ wS (1) 
    Therefore e=
     Mo (1 - M o ) 
     + 
     γ so γ sm 
