Relationship between Porosity and Density of Soil

After reading this article you will learn about the relationship between porosity and density of soil. % soil space = bulk density/particle density Since, % pore space + % soil space = 100 or % pore space 100 - % solid space or % pore space = 100 â€“ bulk density/particle density Ã— 100 % pore space = 100 (1 [...]
