What is Degree of Saturation?

The degree of saturation measures the proportion of the void space in a soil that is filled with water. It is an important parameter in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the degree of saturation:

DOS=1020×100=50%

The degree of saturation is 50%.
