Table 2
Saturated soil moisture content of expansive soil under different initial conditions.
| Initial moisture content (%) | Dry density (g/cm3) | Initial void ratio | Saturated moisture content (%) | Inflection point moisture content (%) | / |
| 15.0 | 1.45 | 0.80 | 37 | 48 | 1.28 | 15.0 | 1.53 | 0.71 | 38 | 53 | 1.41 | 17.5 | 1.45 | 0.80 | 35 | 47 | 1.34 | 17.5 | 1.53 | 0.71 | 34 | 52 | 1.53 | 20.0 | 1.45 | 0.80 | 34 | 46 | 1.36 | 20.0 | 1.53 | 0.71 | 31 | 51 | 1.63 | 20.0 | 1.60 | 0.63 | 27 | 55 | 2.02 |
