Air Content of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Air Content = Volume Air Voids/Volume of Voids
a_c = V_a/V_void
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Air Content - Air content is the ratio of the volume of air to the volume of voids.
Volume Air Voids - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume Air Voids is the volume of voids filled by air.
Volume of Voids - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Voids is space captured by voids.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume Air Voids: 2.1 Cubic Meter --> 2.1 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Volume of Voids: 6.01 Cubic Meter --> 6.01 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

a_c = V_a/V_void --> 2.1/6.01

Evaluating ... ...

a_c = 0.349417637271215

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.349417637271215 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.349417637271215 ≈ 0.349418 <-- Air Content

What is Soil Void?

The voids in the soil mass represent the pores between the solid particles including the volume of water and the volume of air. Both volume of water and volume of air add up together and is said to be volume of void in the soil. The volume of air voids in cement paste, mortar, or concrete, exclusive of pore space in aggregate particles, usually expressed as a percentage of total volume of the mixture.

How to Calculate Air Content of Soil?

Air Content of Soil calculator uses Air Content = Volume Air Voids/Volume of Voids to calculate the Air Content, The Air Content of Soil formula is defined as the ratio of the volume of air voids to that of the volume of voids. Air Content is denoted by a_c symbol.

How to calculate Air Content of Soil using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Air Content of Soil, enter Volume Air Voids (V_a) & Volume of Voids (V_void) and hit the calculate button.
