Bulking of sand means increase in it's volume due to presence of surface moisture . The volume increases with increase in moisture content . The volume may increase up to 20 to 40% when moisture content is 5 to 10 %.
Due to moisture in each particle of sand, sand gets a coating of water due to surface tension which keeps the particles apart. This causes an increment in volume of sand known as Bulking.

How does shear strength of fine sand effect by void ratio?
Shear strength of fine sand is determined by the angularity of the sand particles, the grading of the sand. These two features governs the critical state shear strength parameters of the sand. Density, however, dictates the peak shear strength of the sand. i.e. the denser the sand, the higher the peak shear strength. But the critical shear strength remain the same. The denser the sand, the lower the void ratio. Shear strength of fine sand is determined by the angularity of the sand particles, the grading of the sand.
