Question

1) A natural soil deposit has a bulk density of liagle & water content of
6%. Assume G=267, Assuming void ratio to remain constant, what will
be the degree of saturation at a water content of 16%​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Bulk density Yb.

Dry Density Yd.

water content w.

Yb = Yd(1+w).

1.80 = Yd (1+.05).

Yd = 1.8/1.05.

Yd = 1.71.

Yb = 1.71*(1+.1).

Yb = 1.88.
