relation between void ratio and degree of saturation and water content and specific gravity
Answers
Answer:
VOID RATIO
The void ratio is the ratio of the volume of voids (open spaces, i.e. air and water) in a soil to volume of solids. ... Void ratio and porosity differ only in the denominator. Void ratio is the ratio of voids to solids, porosity is the ratio of voids to total volume
DEGREE OF SALTURATION
Degree of saturation may refer to: Degree of saturation (earth sciences), a ratio of liquid to the total volume of voids in a porous material. Degree of saturation (traffic), a measure used in traffic engineering
WATER CONTENT
Water content or moisture content is the quantity of water contained in a material, such as soil (called soil moisture), rock, ceramics, crops, or wood.
SPECIFIC GRAVITY
To put it another way, the specific density of water would be 1.000. Ideally, urine specific gravity results will fall between 1.002 and 1.030 if your kidneys are functioning normally. Specific gravity results above 1.010 can indicate mild dehydration
