    This document provides formulas for calculating key properties of soils including bulk dry specific gravity, bulk saturated surface dry (SSD) specific gravity, apparent specific gravity, absorption, and voids. The formulas show that bulk dry specific gravity is the dry weight divided by the dry weight minus the weight in water. Bulk SSD specific gravity is the SSD weight divided by the SSD weight minus the weight in water. Apparent specific gravity is the dry weight divided by the dry weight minus the weight in water. Absorption is calculated as the difference between SSD weight and dry weight divided by the dry weight. Voids are calculated as 100 minus the bulk SSD specific gravity times the unit weight of water divided by the grain specific gravity times the unit weight
