Water content = 22% W = 0.22 Void Ratio = 0.36 E = 0.36 Specific Gravity = 2.70 S = ? Se = WG Hence, S = WG/e = 0.22*2.70/0.36 = 1.65 Degree of saturation= 1.65
Water content = 22%
W = 0.22
Void Ratio = 0.36
E = 0.36
Specific Gravity = 2.70
S = ?
Se = WG
Hence,
S = WG/e = 0.22*2.70/0.36 = 1.65
Degree of saturation= 1.65
