Bulking of sand | Compaction curve of Sands | Elementary Engineering

Chapter 68 - Bulking of sand | Compaction curve of Sands | Elementary Engineering When dry sand comes in contact with water, the water or moisture forms thin films around the sand grains. This creates capillary tension which keeps the water in between the soil particles and resists them to come close to each other. Hence the volume of soil increases which results in an expansion or swelling of the sand mass. Which is called Bulking of sand. _________________________________________________________________________ Compaction of Soil :    • Compaction of Soil   Important Relationships between Properties of soil :    • Important Relationships Between Properties...   _________________________________________________________________________ Read Standard Proctor Test : https://elementaryengineeringlibrary....
