HOW TO DETERMINE WEIGHT VOLUME RELATIONSHIP OF SOIL? [STEP BY STEP]
Civil Engineering Classes HOW TO DETERMINE WEIGHT VOLUME RELATIONSHIP OF SOIL? [STEP BY STEP] WEIGHT VOLUME RELATIONSHIP OF SOIL The physical properties of a soil give insight as to the identification of the soil and the determination of its characteristics and load response. These properties can be determined by performing a laboratory analysis on undisturbed soil samples obtained during the test boring process. The laboratory analysis should be performed in accordance with the following ASTM Standard: D-854: Test Method for Specific Gravity of Soils It should be noted that laboratory analyses are performed under controlled conditions with exacting materials and equipment. The results of such analyses may be considered to be accurate. A field sample of undisturbed soil will contain three separate and distinct constituents – solids, water, and air. One of the important properties that must be determined in the laboratory analysis is tha...
