Calculate the % of water content following this data- Mass of empty can + lid (gm) = 8.89 Mass of empty can + dry soil (gm) = 16.34 Mass of empty can + weight soil (gm) =17.49 Mass of solids (gm)=? Mass of pore water (gm) =? Water content % =?
Calculate the % of water content following this data-
Mass of empty can + lid (gm) = 8.89
Mass of empty can + dry soil (gm) = 16.34
Mass of empty can + weight soil (gm) =17.49
Mass of solids (gm)=?
Mass of pore water (gm) =?
Water content % =?
To measures soil's property, there are many tests we perform in lab or at site, some of important and basic parameter of soil is dry weight of soil, density of soil, void ratio, porosity, water content, etc.
To measure water content their some test we can perform one of them is jar test, pycnometer test, etc. here we can measure the dry density, water mass and also water content, and specific gravity of soil.
Percentage of water content is the amount of water present in soil mass, that is basically ratio of mass of water present in sample over mass of soil sample taken.
This ratio is basic property to understand the soil classification or soil type as water content affects somany parameters of the geotechnical design and analysis of soil.
