    3.1 Introduction
    Soil is a three-phase system.
    (solid, water, and air)

    • Dry soil
    • Saturated soil
    • Moist soil
    Relationships between weight and volume

    Volume relationships:
    – Void ratio,
    – Porosity, and
    – Degree of saturation.
    weight relationships:
    – moisture content, and
    – Unit weight (dry, saturated, and moist)
    3.2 Weight–Volume Relationships
    Three phases of soil
    Volume Relationships
    • Void Ratio

    • Porosity

    • Degree of Saturation
    Weight Relationships

    • Moisture content or water content:

    • Moist unit weight:

    • Dry unit weight:


    3.3 Relationships among Unit Weight, Void Ratio,
    Moisture Content, and Specific Gravity
    3.4 Relationships among Unit Weight,
    Porosity, and Moisture Content
    3.5 Various Unit Weight Relationships
    Some Typical Soils
    3.6 Relative Density
    • The term relative density is commonly used to indicate the in
    situ denseness or looseness of granular soil.
    Relative Density
    • The values of Dr may vary from a minimum of 0% for very
    loose soil to a maximum of 100% for very dense soils.
    • Compacting a granular soil to a relative density greater
    than about 85% is difficult.
    Maximum and Minimum e

    The maximum and minimum void ratios for granular


    soils depend on several factors, such as:
    – Grain size
    – Grain shape
    – Nature of the grain-size distribution curve
    – Fine contents, Fc (that is, fraction smaller than 0.075 mm)
