Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A soil sample's void ratio is identified as 0.8. Calculate the porosity and degree of saturation if the total volume is 100 m³ and water occupies 40 m³.

💡 Hint: Start by finding solids from void ratio and total volume relationship.

Question 2

If a soil has a void ratio of 1.2, and its bulk density is known to be 18 kN/m³, what can be said about the specific gravity of the solids?

💡 Hint: Rearranging relationships helps explore soil physical characteristics.
