Mechanical Behavior of Unsaturated Soils Subjected to Impact Loading

Table 6

Void ratios and saturation of soils below the impacted holes.

Drop height /m	Average water content		Void ratio		Saturation
	Before impact	After impact	Before impact	After impact	Before impact	After impact
0.4	19.87%	18.52%	0.935	0.756	57.41%	66.11%
0.6	19.79%	18.44%	0.917	0.706	58.26%	70.57%
0.8	19.58%	18.39%	0.917	0.675	57.63%	73.52%
1.0	19.61%	18.43%	0.917	0.665	57.76%	74.78%
