Saturated Unit Weight given Porosity

Go Saturated Unit Weight = (Specific Gravity of Soil Solids*Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics*(1-Porosity in Soil Mechanics))+(Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics*Porosity in Soil Mechanics)

Porosity Given Saturated Unit Weight in Porosity

Go Porosity of Soil = (Saturated Unit Weight-(Specific Gravity of Soil Solids*Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics))/Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics*(1-Specific Gravity of Soil Solids)

Porosity Given Dry Unit Weight in Porosity

Go Porosity in Soil Mechanics = 1-(Dry Unit Weight/(Specific Gravity of Soil*Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics))

Dry Unit Weight Given Porosity

Go Dry Unit Weight = (1-Porosity in Soil Mechanics)*Specific Gravity of Soil*Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics

Total Volume of Soil given Porosity of Soil Sample

Go Volume of Soil Sample = (Volume of Voids In Soil Mechanics/Porosity Volume Percent)*100

Volume of Voids Porosity of Soil Sample

Go Volume of Voids In Soil Mechanics = (Porosity Volume Percent*Volume of Soil Sample)/100

Porosity of Soil Sample

Go Porosity in Soil Mechanics = Volume of Voids In Soil Mechanics/Volume of Soil Sample

Air Content Given Percentage Air Voids in Porosity

Go Air Content = Percentage of Air Voids/Porosity in Soil Mechanics

Porosity Given Percentage Air Voids in Porosity

Go Porosity of Soil = Percentage of Air Voids/Air Content

Porosity given Void Ratio

Go Porosity in Soil Mechanics = Void Ratio/(1+Void Ratio)

Porosity Given Percentage Air Voids in Porosity Formula

Porosity of Soil = Percentage of Air Voids/Air Content
η = n_a/a_c

What is Voids Ratio?

The void ratio of a mixture is the ratio of the volume of voids to volume of solids. It is a dimensionless quantity in materials science, and is closely related to porosity.
