Question

Porosity of soil sample is 35% and the specific gravity is 2.7

Answer 1

Answer:

Relationship between bulk unit weight, water content, specific gravity, and the void ratio is:

2. Relationship between the degree of saturation, water content, specific gravity, and the void ratio is:

sxe w x G 3. Relationship between void ratio and porosity

Where, y = Bulk unit weight, G = Specific gravity of soil solids, s = Degree of saturation, e = void ratio, yw = unit weight of water, n = porosity

Calculation:

Given, n = 0.4, G = 2.7, S = 0.5
