Buoyant Unit Weight of Soil with Saturation 100 Percent Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Buoyant Unit Weight = (((Specific Gravity of Soil*Unit Weight of Water)-Unit Weight of Water)/(1+Void Ratio))
γ_b = (((G_s*γ_water)-γ_water)/(1+e))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Buoyant Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Buoyant unit weight is the effective mass per unit volume when the soil is submerged below standing water or below the ground water table.
Specific Gravity of Soil - Specific Gravity of Soil is an important property of soil being related to density.
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is mass per unit of water.
Void Ratio - Void Ratio is the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of solids.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Gravity of Soil: 2.65 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Water: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Void Ratio: 1.2 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_b = (((G_s*γ_water)-γ_water)/(1+e)) --> (((2.65*9810)-9810)/(1+1.2))

Evaluating ... ...

γ_b = 7357.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7357.5 Newton per Cubic Meter -->7.3575 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

7.3575 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Buoyant Unit Weight

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

< 7 Degree of Saturation Calculators

Buoyant Unit Weight of Soil with Saturation 100 Percent

Go Buoyant Unit Weight = (((Specific Gravity of Soil*Unit Weight of Water)-Unit Weight of Water)/(1+Void Ratio))

Degree of Saturation given Void Ratio in Specific Gravity

Go Degree of Saturation = Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer*Specific Gravity of Soil/Void Ratio

Degree of Saturation of Soil Sample

Go Degree of Saturation = (Volume of Water/Void Space Volume)

Volume of Water given Degree of Saturation of Soil Sample

Go Volume of Water = Degree of Saturation*Void Space Volume

Volume of Voids given Degree of Saturation of Soil Sample

Go Void Space Volume = Volume of Water/Degree of Saturation

Degree of Saturation given Air Content with Respect to Degree of Saturation

Go Degree of Saturation = 1-Air Content

Air Content with Respect to Degree of Saturation

Go Air Content = 1-Degree of Saturation
