more than 100%(over saturated but saturation is 100%) .....because shrinkage limit is smallest water content at which soil is saturated......means at shrinkage limit itself it posses 100% saturation ........

Why liquid limit and plastic limit are important?

The Atterberg limits of a soil are used as an integral part of several engineering classification systems to characterize fine-grained soils. Also these limits are used directly in specifications for controlling soil for use in fills, and in semi-empirical methods of design. A wide variety of engineering properties of soils have also been correlated to the liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index of soils (i.e. Compressibility, Permeability, and Strength).


What is the consistency of soil at liquid limit and Plastic Limit?

zerozeroConsistency limits and plasticityConsistency varies with the water content of the soil. The consistency of a soil can range from (dry) solid to semi-solid to plastic to liquid (wet). The water contents at which the consistency changes from one state to the next are called consistency limits (or Atterberg limits).Two of these are utilised in the classification of fine soils:Liquid limit (wL) - change of consistency from plastic to liquidPlastic limit (wP) - change of consistency from brittle/crumbly to plasticMeasures of liquid and plastic limit values can be obtained from laboratory tests.

Difference between ultimate strength design and working stress design?

Working stress method of design based on the elastic theory in which materials, concrete and steel are assumed to be stressed well below their elastic limit under the design loads. Working stressess (permissible stress) for the materials are determined by dividing the ultimate or yield stressess by suitable factor of safety values. Limit state method of design based on limit state concept, te structure shall be designed to withstand safely all loads liable to act on it throughout its life;It shall also satisfy the serviceability requirements, such as limitations on deflection and cracking. The acceptable limit for the safety and serviceability requirements before failure occurs is called a "limit state". The aim of design is to achieve acceptable probabilities that the structure will not become unfit for the use for which is intended, that is that it will not reach a limit state...

What is degree of saturation at shrinkage limit?

The degree of saturation at the shrinkage limit is defined as the moisture content at which a soil transitions from a saturated state to a completely dry state without any volume change. At this limit, the soil particles are in contact, and the water content is just sufficient to fill the voids between them, resulting in minimal or no additional shrinkage. Typically, the degree of saturation is considered to be around 0% at the shrinkage limit, indicating that the soil is at its lowest moisture content before significant volume changes occur.


What degree of saturation of any solution which contain undissolved crystals of the solute?

This is the limit of solubilty at a given temperature and pressure.


Degree of saturation at shrinkage limit?

The degree of saturation at the shrinkage limit refers to the moisture content at which soil transitions from a saturated state to a completely dry state without any volume change. At this point, the soil has reached its lowest moisture content, and any further reduction in water leads to a decrease in volume, indicating the onset of shrinkage. The degree of saturation is typically expressed as a percentage, representing the ratio of the volume of water to the volume of voids in the soil. Understanding this concept is crucial for predicting soil behavior in engineering and construction applications.


What substance is added to an organic molecule to test for the degree of saturation?

Bromine or potassium permanganate is added to an organic molecule to test for the degree of saturation. These reagents react differently with saturated and unsaturated compounds, producing distinct color changes or precipitates that can be used to identify the degree of saturation.


Is there a limit to how strongly magnetised an iron nail can get?

Yes It Can.


What is the limit of how strongly an iron bar can be magnetized?

The limit of how strongly an iron bar can be magnetized is determined by its saturation magnetization, which is typically around 1.5 to 2.2 teslas for standard iron. Beyond this saturation point, increasing the external magnetic field will not significantly increase the magnetization of the iron. Factors such as temperature and the presence of impurities can also affect the maximum magnetization achievable. Once saturation is reached, the material can no longer become magnetized beyond this limit.


Why alcohol used in the limit test for sulphate?

Alcohol helps to prevent super saturation.


Triglycerides are classified by what?

Triglycerides are classified by the length and number of fatty acid chains they contain, as well as the degree of saturation of those chains. They can be classified as short, medium, or long-chain depending on the length of the fatty acids, and as saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated based on the degree of saturation.

What is Reverse Saturation Current of a diode?

When a diode is operated as reverse bias the current flow is almost completely blocked. A small amount of current is still able to travel in reverse through the diode and this is referred to as the reverse current saturation.
