Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a soil sample with a total volume of 100 m³, where the volume of voids is 30 m³, how does varying saturation level impact the air voids percentage?

💡 Hint: Evaluate how the volume of water changes with saturation levels.

Question 2

A soil has a void ratio of 2.0 and this sample contains 25 m³ of solids. Calculate the total volume and then determine the total voids.

💡 Hint: Revisit the void ratio definitions to facilitate calculations.
