    The document discusses soil composition and how to calculate the average specific gravity of two soils. It provides an example of the components of a simple soil which is 50% water and 50% soil. It then shows the formula for calculating the average specific gravity of two soils by taking the weighted average of the specific gravities based on their volumes.
