4. Phase Relations (Das, Chapter 3) Sections: All except 3.6

For this chapter, we need to know the following Mass (M) is a measure of a body's inertia, or its "quantity of matter". Mass does not changed at different places. Weight (W) is the force of gravity acting on a body. The unit weight is frequently used in geotechnical engineering than the density (e.g. in calculating the overburden pressure).

Units of unit weight and density The SI unit of mass density (r) is kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3). The SI unit of force is Newton, therefore, the unit weights of soils are typically expressed in kN/m3 Relationship between unit weight and density The unit weights of soil in kN/m3 can be obtained from densities in kg/m3 as The density of water rw varies slightly, depending on the temperature. At 4Co , water’s density is equal to 1000 kg/m3 or 1 g/cm3

Soil Phases Soil deposits comprise the accumulated solid particles plus the void space between the particles The void spaces are partially or completely filled with water or other liquid. Voids space not occupied by fluid are filled with air or other gas. Hence soil deposits are referred to as three-phase system, i.e. Solid + Liquid (water) + Gas (air)

PHASE DIAGRAM For purpose of study and analysis, it is convenient to represent the soil by a PHASE DIAGRAM, with part of the diagram representing the solid particles, part representing water or liquid, and another part air or other gas.

Volumetric Ratios (1) Void ratio e (2) Porosity n% (3) Degree of Saturation S% (0 – 100%) Saturated Dry

Weight Ratios (1) Water Content w% M:Mega Please tell student to correct the density of water Mg/m3 instead of Mg/cm3

Soil unit weights (1) Dry unit weight (2) Total, Wet, Bulk, or Moist unit weight Saturated unit weight (considering S=100%, Va =0) M:Mega Please tell student to correct the density of water Mg/m3 instead of Mg/cm3 Note: The density/or unit weight are ratios which connects the volumetric side of the PHASE DIAGRAM with the mass/or weight side.

Specific gravity, Gs The ratio of the mass of a solid particles to the mass of an equal volume of distilled water at 4°C i.e., the specific gravity of a certain material is ratio of the unit weight of that material to the unit weight of water at 4o C. The specific gravity of soil solids is often needed for various calculations in soil mechanics. Gw = 1 Gmercury = 13.6

Typical Values of Specific Gravity (Lambe and Whitman, 1979) (Goodman, 1989)

Example 1: In its natural state, a moist soil has a total volume of 9344.56 cm3 and a mass 18.11 kg. The oven-dry mass of soil is 15.67 kg. If Gs = 2.67, calculate the moisture content, moist unit weight, void ratio and degree of saturation. 3475.66 cm3 2440cm3 2.44 kg 18.11 kg 9344.56 cm3 15.67 kg 5868.9 cm3

Relationships Between Various Physical Properties All the weight- volume relationships needed in soil mechanics can be derived from appropriate combinations of six fundamental definitions. They are: Void ratio Porosity Degree of saturation Water content Unit weight Specific gravity

Use of Phase diagrams in finding relationships physical properties Remember the following simple rules: Remember the basic definitions of w, e, Gs, S, etc. Draw a phase diagram. Assume either Vs=1 or Vt=1 or ws = 1 depending on given values. Solve the phase diagram for required values.

Air Water Solids Air Water Solids If given e, assume Vs =1 e 1+e 1 If given w, assume Ws =1 Solids Water Air w 1+w 1

1. Relationship between e and n Using phase diagram Given : e required: n e 1+e 1

2. Relationship among e, S, w, and Gs Dividing the denominator and numerator of the R.H.S. by Vv yields: This is a very useful relation for solving THREE-PHASE RELATIONSHIPS.

2. Relationship among e, S, w, and Gs Textbook derivation

2. Relationship among e, S, w, and Gs Using phase diagram Given : e, S, Gs required: w Solids Water Air e e S gw e S 1+e Gs gw + e S gw Gs gw 1

3. Relationship among g, e, S and Gs Notes: Unit weights for dry, fully saturated and submerged cases can be derived from the upper equation Water content can be used instead of degree of saturation.

3. Relationship among g, e, S and Gs Using phase diagram Given : e, S, Gs required: g Solids Water Air e e S gw e S 1+e Gs gw + e S gw Gs gw 1

Various Unit Weight Relationships

Solution of Phase Problems Method 1: Memorize relationships Method 2: Return to Basics Remember the following simple rules: Remember the basic definitions of w, e, Gs, S, etc. Draw a phase diagram. Assume either Vs=1 or Vt=1 or ws = 1 depending on given values. Solve the phase diagram.

Method 2: Problem assumptions Solids Water Air If given e, assume Vs =1 e 1+e 1 If given w, assume Ws =1 Solids Water Air w 1+w 1

Example 2 Method 1a

Method 1b

Method 2: Air Water Solids Given : w = 9.8% , g = 19.2 kN/m3, Gs = 2.69 required: gd , e, n, S Solids Water Air assume Ws =1 kN 0.01931 9.8/100 = 0.098 0.098/9.81= 0.00998 1.098/19.2 = 0.0572 1.098 1 1/(2.69 x 9.81) = 0.03789

Example 3 Field density testing (e.g., sand replacement method) has shown bulk density of a compacted road base to be 2.06 t/m3 with a water content of 11.6%. Specific gravity of the soil grains is 2.69. Calculate the dry density, porosity, void ratio and degree of saturation.

Relative Density The relative density is the parameter that compare the volume reduction achieved from compaction to the maximum possible volume reduction The relative density Dr, also called density index is commonly used to indicate the IN SITU denseness or looseness of granular soil. Volume reduction from compaction of granular soil

Dr can be expressed either in terms of void ratios or dry densities.

Remarks The relative density of a natural soil very strongly affect its engineering behavior. The range of values of Dr may vary from a minimum of zero for very LOOSE soil to a maximum of 100% for a very DENSE soil. Because of the irregular size and shape of granular particles, it is not possible to obtain a ZERO volume of voids. (Do you remember well-graded vs. poorly-graded!!) ASTM test designations D-4253 and D-4254 (2007) provide procedure for determining maximum and minimum dry unit weights of granular soils.

Granular soils are qualitatively described according to their relative densities as shown below The use of relative density has been restricted to granular soils because of the difficulty of determining emax in clayey soils. Liquidity Index in fine-grained soils is of similar use as Dr in granular soils.
