PROPERTIES OF SOIL
WATER CONTENT (W)
It is a ratio of weight of water to the weight of solids.
water content is always greater than and equal to zero.
DEGREE OF SATURATION(S)
It is a ratio of volume of water to the volume of voids.
0<S<100%
VOID RATIO(e)
It is a ratio of volume of voids to the volume of solids.
e>0
POROSITY(n)
It is a ratio of volume of voids to the total volume of soils.
0<n<100%
AIR CONTENT
It is a ratio of volume of air to the volume of voids.
PERCENTAGE AIR VOIDS
It is a ratio of volume of air to the total volume of soil.
