Question 1

Weight-Volume Relationship

Porosity (n)

Answer 1

n = V of voids / Total Volume

Question 2

Weight-Volume Relationship

Volume = ?

Answer 2

V = V of soil + V of void

Question 3

Weight-Volume Relationship 
Void Ratio ( e )

Answer 3

e = V of Voids / V of Solids

Question 4

Weight-Volume Relationship

Void Ratio in terms of Porosity

Answer 4

e = n/ 1-n

Question 5

Weight-Volume Relationship

Degree of Saturation (s)

Answer 5

s = Volumeof Water / Volume of Void

Question 7

Weight-Volume Relationship

Degree of Saturation is Dry soil, s= ?

Answer 7

S=0

Question 8

Weight-Volume Relationship

Weight is equal to?

Answer 8

W = W of soil + W of void

Where : W of void = W of Soil + W of Water

Question 8

Weight-Volume Relationship

Degree of saturation is over saturated , s=?

Answer 8

S>1

Question 9

Weight-Volume Relationship 
Moistyre Content(w)

Answer 9

w= Weight of Water/ Weight of Soil

Question 10

Weight-Volume Relationship

Porosity in terms of Void Ratio

Answer 10

n = e/ e+1

Question 11

Weight-Volume Relationship

Degree of saturation is saturated, s=?

Answer 11

1

Question 12

Se=wGs

Answer 12

(Degree of saturation)(Void Ratio) = (moisture content)(Specific Gravity)

Question 13

Weight-Volume Relationship

Moist unit Weight (¥m)

Answer 13

¥m = [(Gs + Se) / (1 +e)] ¥h2o
