List of top Geotechnical Engineering Questions on Unified and Indian standard soil classification system

A clayey soil has a moisture content of 18%, a specific gravity of soil solids of 2.74, and a degree of saturation of 65%. The soil soaks up water during a rain event, and the degree of saturation increases to 85.2%. The change of the volume during the soakage is negligible. The new moisture content (in %) of the soil will be ......... (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
