About this document
Effect of Moisture on Sand Bulking by Keiffer Dasmarinas is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document reports on an experiment to determine the effect of moisture on sand. It measures the weight of sand mixed with varying amounts of water from 0-10%. The results show the weight of the sand decreases as more water is added, as the moist sand occupies more space in the beaker than dry sand alone. The conclusion is that as moisture increases, the volume of a fixed amount of sand also increases up to a point, as the water causes the individual particles to be pushed apart, filling more voids.
