Question

At Shrinkage Limit, the soil is ___

• A. Fully Saturated
• B. Partially Saturated
• C. Dry
• D. 50% saturated

Hint:

Remember, the shrinkage limit is the point at which a soil changes from a plastic state to a solid state, and it is fully saturated.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

At the shrinkage limit, the soil is fully saturated. This is the moisture content at which the soil begins to shrink, as all the voids are filled with water. Hence, the correct answer is "Fully Saturated".
