Question : 108 of 200

Marks: +1, -0

A soil sample taken from the field has a specific gravity of 2.5 and void ratio of 0.75. The water content required to fully saturate the soil at that void ratio is:

Validate

Solution:

As given that;
G = 2.5, e = 0.75, s = 1
As we know that,
es = Gw

w ={es} /G={0.75× 1}/ 2.5

= 0.3 = 30%
Hence option (b) is correct.
