when the voids of soil are just filled by water the soil mass is called saturated and when soil mass is submerged in water means the water level is above the the soil level or soil mass is drowned in water then soil mass is called submerged.

What is the degree of saturation at plastic limit?

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 ........


What is the difference between pile and pillar?

pile is a type of footing,its necessary where the soil strength is low quality,AND piller is a vertical structure which carrying load from slab and pass to footing,its also known as COLUMN.


Briefly explain the difference between the end bearing piles and the friction piles?

4. End-bearing piles. Typical end-bearing piles aredriven through very soft soil, such as a loose silt-bearingstratum underlain by compressible strata. Rememberthis factor when determining the load the piles cansupport safely.5. Friction piles. When a pile is driven into soil offairly uniform consistency and the tip is not seated in ahard layer, the load-carrying capacity of the pile isdeveloped by skin friction. The load is transferred to theadjoining soil by friction between the pile and thesurrounding soil. The load is transferred downward andlaterally to the soil


What is basic friction angle?

Friction angle or also known as angle of repose of soil is the subtended angle formed between the side slope with the vertical of a loose heap of the soil. This can also be determined by the triaxial shear test on soil conducted in laboratory.


What is the difference between bearing capacity and bearing pressure?

bearing capacity is the capacity of soil or strata that can be able to sustain the load of superstructure in the unit of load per m2 either ton/m2 or KN/m2 bearing pressure is nothing but bearing capacity example when you apply 100 KN on a unit area, equal opposite pressure will rise from the soil. load / area = bearing capacity

What is the difference between soil water and groundwater?

Ground water is the water present in the saturated zone of the subsurface. Soil water is the water present in the unsaturated zone of the subsurface.


A saturated soil sample has a mass of 1.38kg and a volume of 0.6 liters. After dried in a oven for 24 hours the mass of th soil sample is 1.13kg. calculate mass of water?

Apparently, the mass of water is simply the difference between saturated soil mass and the dried soil mass and this is 0.25 kg. - grade
