Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A field has a soil with a specific gravity of 2.70 and water content of 30%. If the bulk unit weight is 18 kN/m³, determine the dry unit weight.

💡 Hint: Think how specific gravity connects soil weight and water density.

Question 2

Given a saturated soil with a void ratio of 0.5 and a total volume of 2 m³, calculate the volume of water when the degree of saturation is at 100%.

💡 Hint: Remember how the volume of voids helps in determining potential water capacity.
