Se=wg or e=wg/s
0.15 * 2. 5/0.5 = 75%.

Degree of saturation (Sr) = wG/e.
= 0.15 x 2.5/0.5,
= 0.75,
= 75%.

As
S = wG/e.
S = (15 %100x 2.5)/0.5
S = 0.75
S = 75%.

Se = wG.

S = wG/e.
S = 0.15 x 2.5/0.5.

Raju Verma said:   6 years ago
es = wG.
S = wG/e,
S = 0.15 * 2.50/0.5,
S = 75%.

As We Know That,
Se = WG.
Where S = Degree of saturation; e = void ratio; W = water content; G = Specific gravity.

So, W = 15% = 0.15 e = 0.5 and G = 2.50
Hence S = WG/e = 0.15 * 2.50/0.5 = 0.75.

But degree of saturation is expressed in % so S = 75% answer.

es = wg.

And then simply,
s = we/G.

Prathapreddy said:   9 years ago
GS = we,
S = we/g.

By substituting the values we get 75%.

s*e = w*g.

s = w*g/e.

w = 15%, g = 2.5, e = 0.5.

s = 0.15*2.5/0.5.
= 0.75.

Answer: 75%.

The relation between water content, degree of saturation, specific gravity and void ratio is given by Se=WG (or) s = WG/e.
