Abstract:Since there are several methods used to determine soil moisture, the objective was to compare the moisture values obtained with the use of a gas oven and a microwave to the values obtained with the standard oven method. Having been carried out at the Hydraulics Laboratory of the State University of Maringá, Umuarama Regional Campus, the performance of the methods was evaluated in the determination of five levels of moisture (10, 15, 20, 25, and 30%), with dry masses obtained at 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes for th… Show more
