Shrinkage Ratio of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Shrinkage Ratio = Dry Unit Weight/Unit Weight of Water
SR = γdry/γwater
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Shrinkage Ratio - Shrinkage ratio is the ratio of a given volume change expressed as a percentage of dry volume to the corresponding charge in water content.
Dry Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Dry Unit Weight of soil is the weight of soil solids per unit of total volume of soil mass.
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is mass per unit of water.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Dry Unit Weight: 6.12 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 6120 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Unit Weight of Water: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
SR = γdrywater --> 6120/9810
Evaluating ... ...
SR = 0.623853211009174
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.623853211009174 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.623853211009174 0.623853 <-- Shrinkage Ratio
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

6 Unit Weight of Water Calculators

Unit weight of water given Dry unit weight and Percentage of air voids
Go Unit Weight of Water = Dry Unit Weight*(1+Water Content of Soil*Specific Gravity of Soil)/(Specific Gravity of Soil*(1-Percentage of Air Voids))
Unit Weight of Water given Saturated Unit Weight
Go Unit Weight of Water = (Saturated Unit Weight*(1+Void Ratio)/((1+Water Content of Soil)*Specific Gravity of Soil))
Unit Weight of Water given Void Ratio
Go Unit Weight of Water = (Saturated Unit Weight*(1+Void Ratio)/(Specific Gravity of Soil+Void Ratio))
Unit Weight of Water given Buoyant Unit Weight
Go Dry Unit Weight = (Buoyant Unit Weight*(1+Void Ratio)/(Specific Gravity of Soil-1))
Unit Weight of Water given Dry Unit Weight
Go Unit Weight of Water = (Dry Unit Weight*(1+Void Ratio)/Specific Gravity of Soil)
Shrinkage Ratio of Soil
Go Shrinkage Ratio = Dry Unit Weight/Unit Weight of Water

Shrinkage Ratio of Soil Formula

Shrinkage Ratio = Dry Unit Weight/Unit Weight of Water
SR = γdry/γwater

What is the 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.

What is shrinkage index?

The shrinkage index is the numerical difference between the plastic limit and shrinkage limit of the remolded soil

How to Calculate Shrinkage Ratio of Soil?
