Question
WHAT IS THE POROSITY OF THE SOIL IF THE TOTAL VOLUME IS 0.3m3 AND VOLUME OF VOIDS IS 0.15m3? * Your answer A SOIL PROFILE HAS 2 DIFFERENT LAYERS OF SOIL. SOIL 2 WITH sg = 2.72 AND MOISTURE CONTENT = 60%, IS OVERLAIN BY SOIL 1 WITH sg = 2 AND MOISTURE CONTENT = 0.65. IF THE WATER TABLE IS INITIALLY ON THE GROUND SURFACE, FIND THE TOTAL STRESS AT THE MID-HEIGHT OF SOIL 2 IF THE WATER TABLE HAS TO BE LOWERED BY 2m. SOIL 1AND 2 HAS HEIGHT 3m EACH. * Your answer A SOIL SAMPLE WAS COMPACTED REDUCING ITS VOID RATIO BY 35%. IF THE WEIGHT AND VOLUME IS 7kN AND 0.3m3, RESPECTIVELY, FIND THE VOID RATIO AFTER COMPACTION IF sg = 2.72 AND w = 45%. * Your answer
