Important Properties Of Soil

Here is Some Important Properties of Soil -


  • Specific Gravity - Specific Gravity  ( G ) is defined as the ratio of the weight of a given volume of soil at a given temperature to the weight of equal volume of distilled water at that same temperature.

  • Void Ratio - Void Ratio (e) of a given soil is the ratio of volume of void to the ratio of  soil solid in a given soil mass.


  • Porosity - Porosity (n) of a given soil sample is the ratio of volume of void to the total volume of given soil mass.


  • Degree of Saturation - Degree of saturation (S) is defined as the  ratio of volume of water present in a given soil mass to the total volume of voids in it.

  • Percentage Air Voids - It is defined as the volume of air voids to the total volume of soil mass.


  • Some Relation Between Above Parameters -
