What does the soil type FeD mean?
Soil type "FeD" is the abbreviation for a soil map unit, and it is specific to the soil map/survey. That is, more than one soil survey might have labeled a map unit "FeD," and each soil survey might use that abbreviation to represent a completely different soil. Look in the soil survey book where you found FeD. If you found this on the USDA's Web Soil Survey, the soil name should have been supplied in the legend.
Why does the pressure increase under soil?
Soil pressure increases with depth due to the overburden or self-weight of the soil and also due to loads imposed upon the soil. For example, the pressure variation below the depth of soil is linear and the relation is given by pressure = unit wt * depth. As depth increases, there will be a linear increase in the soil pressure.
Define properties of soil soil elements?
soil properties basically is the void ratio, porosity, specific gravity, dry unit weight, saturated unit weight, liquid limit, plastic limit and shrinkage limit which play a important role to support load.
Importance of specific gravity of soil?
The Specific Gravity (Gs) is needed for various calculations purposes in Soil Mechanics, e.g. void ratio, density, and unit weight. For Sandy soil, i.e. soils mostly made of quartz, Gs can be accurately estimated to be about 2.65, whereas for silty and clayey soils, it may vary from 2.6 to 2.9.

Does specific gravity has units?
- The specific weight is the weight of a known volume of material at a given temperature and pressure; the unit of measure is kN/m3. - But if you think to relative density: Relative density (specific gravity) is the ratio between the density of the material to be tested and the density of water, at a given temperature and pressure; consequently no unit of measure for this ratio.
What is the difference between specific gravity and density?
Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity usually means relative density with respect to water.
What is specific gravity and its unit?
Specific gravity is the density of a substance, divided by the density of water. Since two units of the same type are divided, specific gravity is dimensionless (i.e., no unit).
Why specific gravity increases in case of skimmed milk?
The specific gravity of skimmed milk is greater than that of whole milk because because cream is lighter than milk, thus removing it makes the remaining liquid heavier per unit of volume. As a liquid's weight per unit of volume increases its specific gravity increases.
PROBLEM FA sample of soft saturated clay weighs 350 grams and has a volume of 205cc. After oven drying, the soil weighs 225 grams. Calculate the values of saturated unit weight, void ratio, porosity and specific gravity?

What is the specific gravity and its unit?
Specific gravity doesn't have units. It's the density relative to water, so specific gravity is effectively just a number.

How do you calculate specific gravity of liquid mixture?
The specific gravity of a mixture should be somewhewre in between of the specific gravity of the substances you mix. The exact value for the specific gravity depends, of course, on the specific gravities of the components, but also how much you use of each.
What is the basic unit of weight?
The Newton - weight is measured in force. mass*gravity = weight mass (kg) gravity (m/s^2) weight in (N)
