Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
On distingue la densité réelle et la densité apparente; cette dernière correspond à la masse par unité de volume apparent de sol (volume réel de terre plus volume de l'espace poreux). La densité apparente est déterminée en prélevant un volume donné de sol dont on mesure ensuite le poids sec. [...] La densité réelle est une caractéristique invariable pour un sol donné; les valeurs mesurées sont souvent de l'ordre de 2,5. La densité apparente varie avec le tassement et l'état structural du sol; pour les sols gonflants elle dépend aussi de leur humidité. La densité apparente est souvent comprise entre 1 et 1,5. 3, record 1, French, - masse%20volumique%20apparente%20du%20sol
