Determining the minimum and maximum void ratios of granular soils is not only a preliminary step for preparing the soil specimens with certain relative densities, but also provides. Void ratio is usually used in parallel with soil porosity (n) , which is defined as the ratio of the volume of voids to the total volume of the soil. 3.2 discuss the importance of.
Soil properties calculator is the tool that helps you to calculate the unknown variables (properties) of soil like void ratio, porosity, water content, degree of saturation etc. Relation between degree of saturation, specific gravity, water content, and void ratio the degree of saturation may be defined as the ratio of the volume of water in the soil. It is expressed as a percentage from 0% to 100%.
This paper provides details about database compilation efforts including but not limited to index properties and void ratio limits of different soil types (clay, silt, sand, gravel). The document defines and explains relative density, which is a measure of the compactness of granular soils. This document provides solved problems related to soil properties and soil compaction from chapters 3 and 6 of the textbook principles of geotechnical engineering.
