The Natural ground water table at a site is located at a depth of 2 m below the ground level. Laboratory tests reveal that the void ratio of the soil in 0.85 while the grain size corresponding to 10% fines is 0.05 mm. Determine the depth of the zone of saturation below G.L assume c = 0.3 cm².

Q: The water content of a 100% saturated soil is 30%, and the specific gravity of solids is 2.50.…

A: Water content = w = 30% Degree of saturation = S = 100% Specific gravity = G = 2.65   To determine -…

Q: Find the void ratio if the value of porosity of soil is 32%

A: Given data :-   Porosity = 32 %  Then  Porosity = 0.32  Now  We have to find the value of the void…

Q: A saturated clay has a natural moisture content of 43%. Taking Gs = 2.70, calculate the void ratio,…

A:

Weight-Volume relationships

Weight is defined as the quantity of matter contained in a body. Weight can also be defined as the force acting on a body due to gravity. Mathematically, weight can be defined as-
