Soil Mechanics

Subtopic: Index properties of soils

Question Statement:

A soil sample has a void ratio $e = 0.65$. Calculate the porosity $n$ of the soil in percentage.

Answer Key:

39.39

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$n = \frac{e}{1 + e} \times 100 = \frac{0.65}{1 + 0.65} \times 100 = \frac{0.65}{1.65} \times 100 \approx 39.394\%$
