Question

how to calculate void ratio of soils?

Answer 1

The void ratio is the ratio of the volume ofvoids (open spaces, i.e. air and water) in asoil to volume of solids. The void ratio is thus a ratio which can be greater than 1. It can also be expressed as a fraction. Void ratio and porosity differ only in the denominator

Answer 2

❀ $\large{ \underline\textbf{Answer - }}$

Soil void ratio (e) is the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of solids: e = (V_v) / (V_s) Where V_v is the volume of the voids.
