The porosity of a soil sample having its void ration equal to unit would be

The porosity of a soil sample having its void ration equal to unit would be

Right Answer is:

50.0%

SOLUTION

The relation between porosity of soil “η” and void ratio “e”

η = e/(1 + e)

Given void ratio  = 1

η = 1/2 = .5 or 50%
