Original Volume of Soil before Excavation given Percent Swell Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Original volume of Soil = (100/(100+0.01*Swell in Soil))*Loaded Volume
V_O = (100/(100+0.01*s))*V_L
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Original volume of Soil - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Original volume of Soil is the volume of soil before excavation.
Swell in Soil - Swell in Soil is change in volume when subjected to moisture.
Loaded Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Loaded Volume is the volume of soil after excavation.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Swell in Soil: 5 --> No Conversion Required
Loaded Volume: 25 Cubic Meter --> 25 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_O = (100/(100+0.01*s))*V_L --> (100/(100+0.01*5))*25

Evaluating ... ...

V_O = 24.9875062468766

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

24.9875062468766 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

24.9875062468766 ≈ 24.98751 Cubic Meter <-- Original volume of Soil

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

Original Volume of Soil before Excavation given Percent Swell Formula

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

What is Volume of Soil?

The total soil volume is the combined volume of solids and pores which may contain air (Vair) or water (Vwater), or both. The average values of air, water and solid in soil are easily measured and are a useful indication of a soils physical condition.
