Upload NowIn this article we will discuss about how to measure soil moisture content. Direct Measurement of Soil Moisture Content in the Soil: (a) Gravimetric Method: Soil is dried at 105-110 °C and before and after the drying, weight of the soil is taken. And from the difference, moisture percentage is calculated. (b) Infra-Red Moisture Balance […]

How to Measure the Compressibility of Soils? | Soil Engineering
Article shared by : 
In the theory of compression, soil compression is assumed to occur by the decrease in the volume of voids, the volume of solids remaining constant throughout the process. Also, higher the effective stress in soils, higher is the resulting compression. Hence, the compressibility of soils is expressed in the terms of a plot between void […]
