Abstract
A method of studying swelling and shrinkage and the density and porosi ty of soil peds by controlled alteration of their moisture content aft er applying a 10 percent solution of natural rubber in white gas, whic h forms a thin elastic film on the surface of the specimen, is describ ed. The permeability of the film to water and gas is regulated by perf orating it with a needle.
