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.
