WHAT IS THE POROSITY OF THE SOIL IF THE TOTAL VOLUME IS 0.3m3 AND VOLUME OF VOIDS IS 0.15m3? * Your answer
The soil fraction that get sieved through 0.075 mm sieve is more than 50% of the total weight of soil sample. The liquid limit & plasticity index of the soil are 25% and 6% respectively. What is the correct representation of the soil?
Cohesive soil is known as fine soil while cohesionless soil is known as course soil. Thesematerials are important to be identified for its parameters and classified accordingly ingeotechnical engineering design. Hence, explain briefly about the condition of permeabilityand porosity in both cohesive and cohesionless soils. Based on the laboratory testing on a sandy soil, the following values are obtained:Volume = 0.78 m3Moist mass = 1755 kgDry mass = 1432 kgSpecific gravity of soil solids = 2.70Determine the following parameters: iv) Porosity v)Then, by assuming the same parameters of sandy soil, determine the value for emin and relativedensity, Dr when the soil is having 10% of fine materials and emax = 0.79.
