Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A soil sample has a dry unit weight of 18 kN/m³ and specific gravity of soil solids as 2.65. Given the water content is 12%, calculate the void ratio.
💡 Hint: Remember how specific gravity, water content, and dry unit weight interplay.
Question 2
In soil mechanics, if the void ratio is 0.6 and degree of saturation is 75%, what is the volume of water in 100 m³ of soil?
💡 Hint: Relate S with the volume of voids and interpret through the ratios.
