Specific gravity is an important soil property tested in Bangladesh to assess the relative density of soil particles, typically for fine-grained soils like clays and silts. This test is essential for determining the soil’s weight-volume relationship, which aids in the calculation of other geotechnical properties, such as unit weight and compaction. In Bangladesh, where soils vary from dense sands to soft clays, specific gravity testing helps in soil classification and plays a key role in foundation design, stability analysis, and the assessment of soil behavior under load.
