Knowing the density of soil at field is of utmost importance for a transportation and civil engineer. The Soil under the action of load consolidates and settles due to empty pores and spaces and also due to expulsion of moisture and air within those pores and interstices.
This online Calculator will help you to calculate all the values and the formulas automatically, just enter the values in the fields below and submit the form the results will be displayed in the output section of the application below :-
