The dry density of a soil is 1.5 g/cm³. If the saturation water content is 50%, then its saturated density and submerged density will respectively be (a) 1.5 g/cm³ and 1.0 g/cm³

A clayey soil with specific gravity of 2.70 has natural moisture content of 16% at 70% degree of saturation. What will be its water content if, after soaking, degree of saturation becomes 90%.

The natural mass and dry mass of 0.001 m3 soil is 1.8 kg and 1.4 kg respectively. Calculate the degree of saturation of the soil and take its specific gravity as 2.6.

A clayey soil with specific gravity 2.77 has a water content of 13% being determined from calcium carbide method. The degree of saturation is 70%. Determine the water content if after soaking, the degree of saturation becomes 85%.
