5. A cubical sample of San Francisco Bay mud (a soft marine silty clay) has been prepared for testing in a true triaxial device. The dimensions of the sample are 76 mm by 76 mm by 76 mm. The sample has a moisture content (w) of 68.5% and a moist density (r) of 1.44 g/cm³. The average specific gravity of solids (G,) is 2.55. Determine (a) the void ratio (e) and degree of saturation (S), (b) the moist density (g) and moisture content (w) if the soil becomes saturated at the same total volume, and (c) the density (e) of the soil if all pore fluid is dried off with no change in total volume. Provide the Phase Diagram.
