    Basic Soil Mechanics: Water/moisture Content

    Uploaded by

    James Leung
    This document discusses key concepts in basic soil mechanics including water content, degree of saturation, and saturation levels. The water content (W) of a soil is defined as the ratio of the mass of water (mw) to the mass of solids (ms). The degree of saturation (Sr) is the ratio of the volume of water (Vw) to the volume of voids (Vv) and can range from 0 to 1, with 1 being fully saturated soil and 0 being completely dry soil. Values between 0 and 1 indicate partially saturated soil.
