Shrinkage Factor using Compacted Volume of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Shrinkage Factor - Shrinkage Factor is the specific volume change of soil relative to its water content and is mainly due to clay swelling properties.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Compacted Volume: 15 Cubic Meter --> 15 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Original volume of Soil: 22 Cubic Meter --> 22 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = (V_c/V_O) --> (15/22)

Evaluating ... ...

S = 0.681818181818182

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.681818181818182 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.681818181818182 ≈ 0.681818 <-- Shrinkage Factor

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

Shrinkage Factor using Compacted Volume of Soil Formula

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

What is Shrinkage Factor?

The shrinkage factor indicates the reduction in volume of soil from the borrow pit stage to the final compacted stage, while the bulkage factor accounts for the increase in volume of the soil between the pit and the loose state in the truck.
