Question

The ratio of the volume of air space to the volume of solids in a soil mass is called as ____ .

A.

California Bearing Ratio

B.

Air-Space Ratio

C.

Air Void Ratio

D.

Critical Void Ratio

Correct option is B

​Solution:Air-Space Ratio is defined as the ratio of the volume of airto the volume of soil solids in a given soil mass.Air-Space Ratio=Volume of airVolume of solidsAir-Space Ratio=VaVsWhere,Va=Volume of air voidsVs=Volume of soil solidsTherefore, the ratio of the volume of air space to thevolume of solids is called the Air-Space Ratio.Hence, the correct answer is Option B: Air-Space Ratio.\textbf{Solution:}\\\\\text{Air-Space Ratio is defined as the ratio of the volume of air}\\\text{to the volume of soil solids in a given soil mass.}\\\\\text{Air-Space Ratio}=\frac{\text{Volume of air}}{\text{Volume of solids}}\\\\\text{Air-Space Ratio}=\frac{V_a}{V_s}\\\\\text{Where,}\\\\V_a=\text{Volume of air voids}\\\\V_s=\text{Volume of soil solids}\\\\\text{Therefore, the ratio of the volume of air space to the}\\\text{volume of solids is called the Air-Space Ratio.}\\\\\textbf{Hence, the correct answer is Option B: Air-Space Ratio.}​​
