Abstract
Two questions on degree of saturation determination of soils are discussed. Owing to testing conditions, the degree of saturation of soils is evaluated by the relationship between degree of saturation and other indexes of physical properties, and this degree of saturation is on the high side. By analyzing on testing results, when we speak of that soils are under groundwater level, it does not mean the soils are saturated. So, soil mechanics for unsaturated soils is studied urgently in geotechnical engineering.
