Question 1

In a wet soil mass air occupies one sixth of its volume and water occupies one third of its volume. the void ratio of the soil is

Question 2

Consider the following statement in relation to the given table

Question 3

The dry density of soil is 1.5g/cc. If the saturation water content were 50% then its saturated density and submerged density would respectively.

Question 4

The saturated and dry densities of a soil are respectively 2000 kg/m3 and 1500 kg/m3. the water content (in %) of the soil in the saturated state would be

Question 5

if a soil sample of weight 0.18 kg having a volume of 10-4 m3 and dry unit weight of 1600 kg/m3 is mixed with 0.02 kg of water then the water content in the sample will be

Question 6

For a sandy soil with soil grains spherical in shape and uniform in size, what is the theorrtical void ratio?

Question 7

A cohesive soil yields a maximum dry density of 16 kN/m3 during a standard proctor compaction test. If the specific gravity is 2.65, what would be its void ratio?

Question 8

The natural water content of the soil sample was found to be 40%, specific gravity is 2.7 and void ratio 1.2, then the degree of saturation of the soil will be

Question 9

A soil deposit has a void ratio of 1.0. If the void ratio is reduced to 0.60 by compaction, the percentage volume loss is

Question 10

The specific gravity of a soil sample is 2.7 and its void ratio is 0.945. when it is fully saturated, the moisture content of the soil will be
