    This document defines common symbols and notations used in soil mechanics, including void ratio (e), porosity (n), moisture content (w), specific gravity (s, G), degree of saturation (S), unit weights (γ), liquid limit (L), plastic limit (P), and liquidity and plasticity indices (LI, PI). It provides the variables used to represent volumes, weights, densities, and properties of soil, solids, air, water, and their relationships.
