Question

Degree of saturation is defined as the ratio of volume of water in the void to the

(a) total volume of the void in the rock sample

(b) volume of soil

(c) volume of air

(d) total volume of the rock sample​

Answer 1

Explanation:

For fully saturated soil, Degree of saturation = 1. Because Volume of water = volume of voids. Hence, the degree of saturation varies between 0 and 1. Important Terms. Void ratio

Divide the weight by the volume (1,000 ml) to find the density of the sand. For example, if the sand weighs 1,500 grams, the density is 1.5. Multiply the voidage by the volume of the dry sand to find the volume of the void. With 1,000 ml of dry sand and a voidage of 0.4, you have a void volume of 400 ml.
