Q- When the sand is fully saturated, its volume is

a. equal to

b. less than

c. more than?

Answer:

Saturation of sand refers to fully soaking of the sand i.e. also known as bulking of sand.

In this case the volume of dry sand increases due to absorption of moisture. These volume increase.

Example: It has been found that 4% moisture content (by weight) of dry sand may increase its volume up to 25 – 30% .

the answer is c. more than?
