About this document

Soil Unit Weight, Void Ratio, and Porosity by BEA MAE OTERO is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document describes a laboratory experiment to determine various physical properties of soil, including unit weight, dry unit weight, void ratio, and porosity. The experiment involves coating an undisturbed soil sample with wax, measuring its mass both in and out of water to find volume, then finding volume and mass of solids after drying. Calculations are shown to find the desired properties from these measurements. The purpose is to understand the relationships between solids, water, and air in soil s
