Soil engineering for highway design

Soil engineering is a part of geotechnical engineering that deals with the characteristics of soil. It also helps to understand the behavior of the soil in different conditions. The basic concepts of soil are studied to check the strength, compressibility, and porosity of the soil. This makes soil engineering an important topic for civil engineering.

Question

The volume of water in a soil sample is 0.056 m3 . The volume of solids Vs is 0.28 m3 . The density of soil solids rs is 2500 kg/m3 , find the water content ( W )
