Q.75
If the volume of soil solids is denoted as Vs and the volume of soil pores as Vf, which of the relationships between void ratio
(e) and porosity (f) is correct
EXPLANATION
Soil Structure, Aggregate Stability, Bulk/Particle Density, Porosity & Crusting Mechanics in Sodic Soils
- Definitions:
- Volume of soil solids = $V_s$
- Volume of soil pores = $V_f$
- Total soil volume = $V_t = V_s + V_f$
- Porosity ($f$) = $\frac{V_f}{V_t} = \frac{V_f}{V_s + V_f}$
- Void ratio ($e$) = $\frac{V_f}{V_s}$
- Derivation:
- Dividing the numerator and denominator of $f$ by $V_s$:
- Conversely, $e = \frac{f}{1 - f}$.
- Conclusion: The relationship $f = \frac{e}{1 + e}$ is correct. (Correct answer: Option 4)
