| Q.31 | Identify the incorrect statement with respect to the effect of compaction on soil properties. | |
| Ans | A. As the compactive effort is increased, the permeability of soil decreases because of the increased dry density. | |
| B. For the same density, fine grained soil samples compacted dry of optimum are more permeable than those compacted wet of optimum. | ||
| C. As the dry density increases due to compaction, the amount of voids goes on reducing and hence the permeability of soil decreases. | ||
| D. The permeability of soil is independent of individual pore size, rather it depends on the void ration. |
Correct Ans Provided: D
