The mass of moist soil consists of the mass of the dry soil particles, plus the mass of the water within the soil.

For all calculations the mass of soil refers to oven dry mass, i.e. the weight of soil corrected for moisture content.

Subtract the weight of the empty dish from the full dish to acquire the moist soil weight.

The ground mass throughout the area is a very fine sand to a silt.

Ground temperature can be monitored using simple ground thermometers inserted in the centre of the ground mass, or using thermocouples and a digital readout recorder.

The inventive soil compacting device is embodied in the form of injecting tubes (1) for pumping a concrete mortar arranged at a pitch of 2.0-4.0 m in the soil body.

The cement content required will normally be in the range of 4 to 7% by mass of the dry soil for 4MPa block and 7 to 10% by mass of dry soil for 7 MPa blocks.

When watering from the top, try not to wet the foliage, while ensuring the entire soil mass is moistened.

Occasionally some individual crystals are larger than the groundmass, in case the texture is known as porphyritic.

Occasionally some individual crystals (phenocrysts) are larger than the groundmass, in which case the texture is known as porphyritic.

Occasionally some individual crystals (phenocrysts) are larger than the groundmass in which case the texture is known as porphyritic.

Sometimes the individual crystals like phenocrysts are larger than the groundmass, in this case its texture is known as porphyritic.
