Given:-

ww=w×w5

w=5=0.05

γ=18.44kn/m2

G=2.67

Ww1=0.05ws

Ww2=0.15Ws

Quantity of water to be added =0.15ws0.05ws

γd=γ1+w=18.441+0.05=17.56kn/m3

Ws=γd×γ

For 1m3 volume.

Ws=17.56×1=17.56kN

Ww=0.1×17.56=17.56kN

Vw=Wwγw=1.7569.81=0.179m3 i.e 179 litres.

e=Gγmwγd1=2.679.8117.561

e=0.492

weight of sand filling hole =1050-445=605g

unit weight of sand=15501000=1.55g/cc

Volume of the hole =6051.55=390.32cc

Insitu unit density =761.25390.32=1.95 g/cc

Insitu unit weight.γ=g=1.959.81= 19.13 kN\m^{3}

γ=19.13kN/m3

The insitu unit weight of soil is 19.13 kN/m3
