Abstract
When designing a road, it is important to know how many voids are in the underlying soil -- since these voids will affect the road stiffness. It is difficult to measure the voids ratio directly, so instead, we need to estimate it based on easier-to-measure characteristics such as grain size. There are empirical formulas for such estimation. In this paper, we provide a possible theoretical explanation for these empirical formulas.
