Question

A soil sample is having a specific gravity of 2.60 and a void ratio of 0.78. the water content in percentage required to fully saturate the soil at that void ratio will be

Answer 1

Thanks for your email but I'm ok to get it over with and send it to you when I get back from my trip

Answer 2

Given, G=2.60, e=0.78, and for fully saturated soil (s) =100%

We know that w x G = s x e

So, w=se/G, or, 100x0.78/2.60=30(ans)
