Soil Water Content

1. Mt = Ms + Mw + Ma
2. Vt = Vs + Vw + Va
a. t = total, s = solids, w = water, a = air
3. ρb = bulk density = Ms/Vt≈ 1.1-1.4 g/cc (why
dry basis?)
4. ρp = particle density = Ms/Vs ≈ 2.65 g/cc
5. Porosity = (Vw + Va) / Vt ≈ 25-60%
6. ρw = water density = Mw/Vw = 1.0 g/cc

Calc.: soil water content – 2

a. Mw = Vw * ρw
b. ρb = Ms / Vt; Ms = Vt * ρb
I.B Mohtar
13
Calc.: soil water content – 3
 Mw / Ms = (Vw * ρw)/(Vt * ρb) = (Vw /
Vt)(ρw / ρb)
 θ = Vw/Vt
 θ *(ρw / ρb) = 0.3; θ = (ρb / ρw) * 0.3
 θ = 0.3 *(1.3/1.0) = 0.39

Soil Strength and Mechanics
From McCarthy (1982) pages 233-237,373-379
 Soil stresses
 Normal Stress = Fn/A = σ
 Shear Stress = Ft/A = τ


Fn = normal force
Ft = tangential or shear force
 As normal stress (σ) ↑, sheer stress (τ) to
cause failure (τf)↑ i.e. shear strength ↑
 tan Φ = τf / σ; where Φ = angle of internal
friction

 From table 10-1, for well-graded sand, Φ =
32-35o = 33.5o
