A soil has a void ratio of 0.6, specific gravity as 2.65 and degree of saturation as 50%. What will be its bulk unit weight?

a) 24.5 kN/m3
b) 25 kN/m3
c) 25.5 kN/m3
d) 19.5 kN/m3

Answer: d
Explanation: Given,
Voids ratio e = 0.6
Specific gravity G = 2.65
Saturated unit weight γsat = (G+e) γw/ (1+e)
γsat = (2.65+0.6)*9.81/(1+0.6)
γsat= 19.927 N/m3.
