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

Q- Depth of the root zone=1.8 m
Existing moisture=8%
Dry density of soil-1450 kg/m³
Quantity of water applied to soil=650 m³
Water loss due to deep percolation and evaporation=10%
Area to be irrigated=1000 m²
Determine the field capacity of a soil for this data.
