Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Compacted Volume = (Original volume of Soil*Shrinkage Factor)
V_c = (V_O*S)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Compacted Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Compacted Volume is the volume of soil after compaction is done on excavated soil.
Original volume of Soil - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Original volume of Soil is the volume of soil before excavation.
Shrinkage Factor - Shrinkage Factor is the specific volume change of soil relative to its water content and is mainly due to clay swelling properties.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Original volume of Soil: 22 Cubic Meter --> 22 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Shrinkage Factor: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_c = (V_O*S) --> (22*0.5)

Evaluating ... ...

V_c = 11

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

11 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

11 Cubic Meter <-- Compacted Volume

Original Volume of Soil before Excavation given Percent Swell

Go Original volume of Soil = (100/(100+0.01*Swell in Soil))*Loaded Volume

Loaded Volume of Soil given Percent Swell

Go Loaded Volume = (Original volume of Soil*(100+0.01*Swell in Soil)/100)

Swell in Soil given Original Volume of Soil

Go Swell in Soil = 10000*((Loaded Volume/Original volume of Soil)-1)

Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil

Go Compacted Volume = (Original volume of Soil*Shrinkage Factor)

Shrinkage Factor using Compacted Volume of Soil

Go Shrinkage Factor = (Compacted Volume/Original volume of Soil)

Original Volume of Soil given Compacted Volume

Go Original volume of Soil = (Compacted Volume/Shrinkage Factor)

Loaded Volume of Soil given Original Volume of Soil

Go Loaded Volume = (Original volume of Soil/Load Factor)

Load Factor given Original Volume of Soil

Go Load Factor = (Original volume of Soil/Loaded Volume)

Original Volume of Soil before Excavation

Go Original volume of Soil = Loaded Volume*Load Factor

Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil Formula

Compacted Volume = (Original volume of Soil*Shrinkage Factor)
V_c = (V_O*S)

What is Compaction?

Compaction is a process that brings about an increase in soil density or unit weight, accompanied by a decrease in air volume. There is usually no change in water content. For a given compactive effort, the maximum dry unit weight occurs at an optimum water content.

How to Calculate Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil?

Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil calculator uses Compacted Volume = (Original volume of Soil*Shrinkage Factor) to calculate the Compacted Volume, The Compacted volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil is defined as the volume of soil which is compacted after excavation is done. Compacted Volume is denoted by V_c symbol.

How to calculate Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil, enter Original volume of Soil (V_O) & Shrinkage Factor (S) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil calculation can be explained with given input values -> 10 = (22*0.5).
