The maximum water content at which a reduction in water content does not cause a decrease in volume of a soil mass, is known
-
A sample of saturated soil has 30% water content and the specific gravity of soil grains is 2.6. The dry density of the soil mass in g/cm3, is
-
If the coefficients of volume change and compressibility of a soil sample are respectively 6.75 x 10-2 and 3 x 10-2, the void ratio of the soil sample, is
-
The minimum centre to centre distance of friction piles of 1 m diameter, is
