What are the soil classifications?

Soil classifications is a very important part of engineering. The main aim of this is to divide the broad category of soil into a small subcategory. Soil classification also helps

Specific gravity of solids and its measurement

In this post we are going to learn about the physical significance of specific gravity. Further in the post we will learn most common method to determine the specific gravity

What is void ratio?

Void ratio (e) is defined as ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of solids. $$e=\frac{V_v}{V_s}$$ where :\(V_v\) is volume of void, and \( V_s\) is volume of
