Void Ratio Void ratio refers to the size of voids to the volume of solids. It is indicated e=Vv/Vs It is expressed as a decimal. Porosity It is the ratio of volume of voids to the total volume. It is indicated by ‘n’ n=Vv/V It is usually expressed as a percentage. 1/n=V/Vv= (Vv+vs)/Vv 1/n= 1+ (1/e) […]
