Void Ratio

Description

A function to calculate the soil void ratio.

Usage

voidratio(wetsoil, drysoil, diam.cylinder, height.cylinder,
    dens.particle, deformation)

Arguments

wetsoil

the weight of wet soil.

drysoil

the weight of dry soil.

diam.cylinder

the diameter of the cylinder.

height.cylinder

the heigth of the cylinder.

dens.particle

the particle density.

deformation

a numeric vector containing soil deformation values.

Value

A numeric vector with same length of deformation containig void ratio values.
