For loessial soil with G s = 2.72, plot a graph of d (kN/m 3 )

Question:

For loessial soil with Gs = 2.72, plot a graph of γd (kN/m3) versus the liquid limit, similar to Figure 15.3, to identify the zone in which the soil is likely to collapse on saturation. If a soil has a liquid limit of 24, Gs = 2.72 and γd = 14.5 kN/m3, is collapse likely to occur?
