    This document discusses key phase relations of soil, including volumetric and weight relationships. It defines terms like void ratio, porosity, saturation, air voids, water content, unit weight, dry weight, and saturated unit weight. These parameters help characterize a soil's physical state and properties based on the volumes and weights of its solids, voids, and water content. Key ranges given include 0-infinity for void ratio, 0-1 for porosity, and 0-500% for water content. Unit weights are also provided for common materials like water, soil, and saturated soil.
