During the ancient period, where the usage of concrete and other
construction materials were not yet in existence, people back then
utilize the oldest complex engineering materials ever existed,
which are soils, to construct shelters and other flood protection
structures. Soil or soil deposit may be defined as all naturally
occurring, loose/uncemented/weakly cemented/relatively
unconsolidated mineral particles, organic or inorganic in character,
lying over the bed rock which is formed by weathering
(disintegration) of rocks. In our time, soils play an important role
in building construction as all infrastructures rest above it.
After conducting the experiment and gathered all the necessary data, the
students were able to determine the hygroscopic water content of the soil
samples. With this, the students conclude that soil particles are highly
absorbent and may contain a large amount of moisture even for a reasonably
determine the water content of soils and include this property in the design
