Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A soil sample has a total volume of 2m³ with a void volume of 0.8m³. Calculate the porosity and void ratio.

💡 Hint: Apply the definitions carefully.

Question 2

Consider a soil that is 70% saturated and has a void ratio of 0.5. If the total volume is 1m³, find the volume of water in the soil.

💡 Hint: Use the degree of saturation in your calculations.
