The "zero-voids curve" in Fig. 16.13 indicates the moisture contents for various dry densities if the material is fully saturated, i.e., all its pores are filled with water. It means that in a regularly compacted earth material, there is some air in the pores. 6, record 1, English, - zero%20air%20voids%20curve
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The compacted dry density increases with increasing moisture ... The increase is limited by saturation - the zero air voids curve - where neutral stress prevents a further reduction in void ratio without a reduction in moisture. 1, record 1, English, - zero%20air%20voids%20curve
