TITLE: DETERMINATION OF WATER CONTENT OF SOIL OBJECTIVE: To determine the water content of soil sample by oven-dry method. APPARATUS REQUIRED: 1. Weighing machine 2. Tray or pan 3. A container (small) 4. Moisture cans MATERIALS REQUIRED: 1.Soil sample THEORY: Determining the water content of soil is a fundamental test in geotechnical engineering, soil science, and environmental engineering. The oven-dry method is a standard procedure used to measure the moisture content of soil samples accurately. This method involves drying a soil sample in an oven at a specific temperature until it reaches a constant weight. The water content is then calculated b...
