Test Preparation

In this lesson, we'll be studying about the parameter that determine the properties of soil with the help of a block diagram where we segregate the different phases of soil as 
 1.soil solids
 2.water
 3.air
The deciding parameters are
 1.voids ratio
 2.porosity
 3.water content 
 4.degree of saturation 
 5.air content 
 6.percentage air voids
