2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the void ratio if the volume of voids is 20 m³ and volume of solids is 80 m³?
Use the formula e = V_v / V_s.
Define porosity in your own words.
Think about how voids relate to total volume.
What is the void ratio if the volume of voids is 30 m³ and the volume of solids is 60 m³?
Think about how to set up the fraction.
True or False: The degree of saturation can exceed 100%.
Consider what it means to be saturated.
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.
Start by finding solids from void ratio and total volume relationship.
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?
Rearranging relationships helps explore soil physical characteristics.
