A soil sample was collected by driving steel cylinders of 1000 cm3 of volume and mass of 100 g with walls thin enough not to change the original volume of the soil. Every precaution has been taken to preserve the moisture of the sample within the cylinder. Then this sample was removed and dried in an oven at 110°C, until constant weight. Obtaining the mass of the cylinder plus soil wet M(s+c+w) and the mass of the cylinder plus dry soil M(s+c) (Table 1). Considering the density of grains Gs (Table 1) to determine the moisture content, the natural specific weight of the soil, the weight dry specificity, the void ratio and the degree of saturation of the sample.

A soil sample was collected by driving steel cylinders of 1000 cm3
of volume and
mass of 100 g with walls thin enough not to change the original volume of the soil. Every precaution has been taken to preserve the moisture of the sample within the cylinder. Then this sample was
removed and dried in an oven at 110°C, until constant weight. Obtaining the mass of the cylinder plus soil
wet M(s+c+w) and the mass of the cylinder plus dry soil M(s+c) (Table 1). Considering the density
of grains Gs (Table 1) to determine the moisture content, the natural specific weight of the soil, the weight
dry specificity, the void ratio and the degree of saturation of the sample.
