Answer ( Option B)

More volume reduction occurs in clay

Solution

  • For sand (cohesionless soil), a 10% increase in unit weight indicates a decrease in void ratio and an increase in relative density.
  • For clay (cohesive soil), a 10% increase in unit weight generally indicates a decrease in void ratio and an increase in consistency/strength.
