Concentration of Soil in Volumetric Basis Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Concentration of Soil in the Mixture = (Specific Weight of the Mixture-Specific Weight of Water)/(Specific Weight of Dry Sand Grains-Specific Weight of Water)
C_v = (γ_m-y_w)/(γ_g-y_w)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Concentration of Soil in the Mixture - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Concentration of Soil in the Mixture measured on a volumetric basis.
Specific Weight of the Mixture - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Specific Weight of the Mixture in the Suction Pipe.
Specific Weight of Water - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Specific Weight of Water is the weight per unit volume of water.
Specific Weight of Dry Sand Grains - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Specific Weight of Dry Sand Grains. The specific weight, also known as the unit weight, is the weight per unit volume of a material.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Weight of the Mixture: 10 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 10000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Specific Weight of Water: 9.807 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9807 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Specific Weight of Dry Sand Grains: 15 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 15000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_v = (γ_m-y_w)/(γ_g-y_w) --> (10000-9807)/(15000-9807)

Evaluating ... ...

C_v = 0.0371654149817061

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0371654149817061 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0371654149817061 ≈ 0.037165 Cubic Meter <-- Concentration of Soil in the Mixture

What is Suction Dredger?

A Suction Dredger is a stationary dredger normally used for mining sand. The suction pipe of this dredger is inserted into the sand deposit and water jets are used to bring the sand up from the excavation site.

What is the difference between Volumetric and Gravimetric Water Content?

Gravimetric water content is the weight of soil water contained in a unit weight of soil (kg water/kg dry soil).
Likewise, volumetric water content is a volume fraction (m3 water/m3 soil).
