Why is then loam soil the best soil?
Because there is an equilibrium between large pores and small pores. That results in equilibrium between water adsorbed and air capacity
What is a soil compaction test?
Bearing capacity of soil
What is field capacity of soil?
field capacity is the quantity of water that is retained by a soil after drainage by cohesion and adhesion.
Which factors affect buffering capacity of soil?
mineralogy, soil organic matter, soil texture, type of clay, cation exchange capacity, base saturation
What type of soil has maximum water holding capacity?
alluvial soil

field capacity is the quantity of water that is retained by a soil after drainage by cohesion and adhesion.
What is the water holding capacity of loamy soil?
the water holding capacity of the loamy soil is very easy
Which soil has high water retaining capacity?
alluvial soil
Would engineered fill improve the Safe bearing capacity of soil?
Yes, it can improve the bearing capacity but the extent has to be seen with other conditions like soil, mode of filling, treatment given. In fact this was done in delhi to counter site conditions.

What type of soil has maximum water holding capacity?
alluvial soil
What is the formula for calculating the Bearing Capacity?
Bearing capacity of soil= Load carried by soil / unit Area Definition : The safly retained capacity by soil is termed as SBC(Safe Bearing Capacity) of soil. While you design a footing , it is the main factor to consider . To calculate the area of footing Area of footing = load/ SBC
Does Soil Contains air?
yes soil contains air because it is also present in the earth
What is the water holding capacity of alluvial soil?
I have got WHC of CLAY Soil- 45% sandy soil- 25%
How do you improve the bearing capacity of slit soil?
The bearing capacity of slit soil with geogrid will be improved with the direct application of geogrid. However, the application of geocell or geocell/geo slurry mixture between the two layers of geo crumb will bring better results. If the slit soil is very weak due to the softness, then the application of geogrid to the existing soil will improve the bearing capacity of the soil. Also, the application of geogrid initially may improve the bearing capacity of the soil, but your effort will be diverted when the soil becomes dry and when the soil is loaded or the internal friction angle of the soil is reduced.
