Soil engineering for highway design

Soil engineering is a part of geotechnical engineering that deals with the characteristics of soil. It also helps to understand the behavior of the soil in different conditions. The basic concepts of soil are studied to check the strength, compressibility, and porosity of the soil. This makes soil engineering an important topic for civil engineering.

Analyze each statement (A and B) whether they are true or false. Use the choices below in answering each item; A statement A is true B statement B is true C both A and B are true D neither A nor B are true (A) As the soil becomes compacted, both bulk density and particle density increase. (B) Porosity is inversely proportional to bulk density, meaning as bulk density increases percent porosity decreases, and vice versa.
