Extract

The quantitative relationships between “single value” properties and mechanical analysis of the soil are of some considerable importance in the textural classification of soils, and have received much attention since the original work on moisture equivalent by Briggs and McLane (1907). The empirical nature of the moisture equivalent, with the consequent trend towards standardisation of technique, has led to frequent re-examination of the relationship between the mechanical analysis and the “single value.”
