Given - Unit weight of soil specimen (1) = 17.6 kN/m² specific gravity of solid (6) = 2.70 water content (w) = 30% or 0.3 void ratio (e) = ? As we know that , S- • degree of from inter-relationship among (Y,4,5,6)... [where (G+ Se) Vw Saturation / ya Ite 07, r = (G+wG) Vw Ite (se wo) 07, Ta ( 1+w) GYw Ite رن Pulting the above values in equation in 17.6 = (1 + 0.3)x2.70 x 9.807 Tte 34.422 17.6= 1+e I + = 34, 422 17.6 1 +€ = 1.9558 OT, e = 0.9558 le = 0.96 12 07, So, option (0) is correct.
