How can you find void ratio? - Answers

The void ratio can be found by dividing the volume of voids (the spaces between soil particles) by the volume of solid particles in a soil sample. It is calculated using the formula: ( e = \frac{V_v}{V_s} ), where ( e ) is the void ratio, ( V_v ) is the volume of voids, and ( V_s ) is the volume of solids. This can be determined through laboratory tests such as the specific gravity test and the bulk density test. Alternatively, it can be estimated from moisture content and unit weight data.
