A case study was carried out at the USM, Engineering Campus in Nibong Tebal, Malaysia to determine the mass fractal dimension in that area and some relationship that related to the mass fractal dimension was analyzed.

The particle size distributions of these samples were analyzed and the mass fractal dimensions of these samples were determined. Two relationships which related to the mass fractal dimension were carried out, there were: (i) relationship between mass fractal dimension and the soil properties and (ii) relationship between mass fractal dimension and land disturbance. Four soil properties that use in the analysis were moisture content, bulk density, organic content and clay content. The results for the relationship between mass fractal dimension and soil properties were good and similar to the theory.
