Bulk Unit Weight given Degree of Saturation Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bulk Unit Weight = Dry Unit Weight+(Degree of Saturation*(Saturated Unit Weight of Soil-Dry Unit Weight))
γ_bulk = γ_dry+(S*(γ_saturated-γ_dry))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Bulk Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Bulk Unit Weight is the weight of a unit volume of soil. It is a measure of the density of the soil when it is in its natural, undisturbed state.
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.
Degree of Saturation - Degree of Saturation is the ratio of the volume of water to the volume of voids.
Saturated Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Saturated Unit Weight of Soil is defined as the weight per unit volume of soil when it is fully saturated with 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)
Degree of Saturation: 2.56 --> No Conversion Required
Saturated Unit Weight of Soil: 11.89 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 11890 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_bulk = γ_dry+(S*(γ_saturated-γ_dry)) --> 6120+(2.56*(11890-6120))

Evaluating ... ...

γ_bulk = 20891.2

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

20891.2 Newton per Cubic Meter -->20.8912 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

20.8912 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Bulk Unit Weight

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

< Unit Weight of Soil Calculators

Gross Pressure Intensity given Average Unit Weight of Soil

Go Gross Pressure = Net Pressure+(Unit Weight of Soil*Depth of Footing in Soil)

Average Unit Weight of Soil given Net Pressure Intensity

Go Unit Weight of Soil = (Gross Pressure-Net Pressure)/Depth of Footing in Soil

Average Unit Weight of Soil given Effective Surcharge

Go Unit Weight of Soil = Effective Surcharge in Kilopascal/Depth of Footing in Soil

Gross Pressure Intensity given Net Pressure Intensity

Go Gross Pressure = Net Pressure+Effective Surcharge in Kilopascal

Bulk Unit Weight given Degree of Saturation Formula

Bulk Unit Weight = Dry Unit Weight+(Degree of Saturation*(Saturated Unit Weight of Soil-Dry Unit Weight))
γ_bulk = γ_dry+(S*(γ_saturated-γ_dry))

What is Unit Weight of Water?

The Unit Weight of Water is essentially the same as the density of water. Density is a measure of how much mass a substance has per unit volume.

How to Calculate Bulk Unit Weight given Degree of Saturation?

Bulk Unit Weight given Degree of Saturation calculator uses Bulk Unit Weight = Dry Unit Weight+(Degree of Saturation*(Saturated Unit Weight of Soil-Dry Unit Weight)) to calculate the Bulk Unit Weight, The Bulk Unit Weight given Degree of Saturation formula is defined as a measure of the number of solid particles plus water per unit volume. Saturated unit weight is equal to the bulk density when the total voids is filled up with water. Bulk Unit Weight is denoted by γ_bulk symbol.

How to calculate Bulk Unit Weight given Degree of Saturation using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Bulk Unit Weight given Degree of Saturation, enter Dry Unit Weight (γ_dry), Degree of Saturation (S) & Saturated Unit Weight of Soil (γ_saturated) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Bulk Unit Weight given Degree of Saturation calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.020891 = 6120+(2.56*(11890-6120)).

FAQ

What is Bulk Unit Weight given Degree of Saturation?

The Bulk Unit Weight given Degree of Saturation formula is defined as a measure of the number of solid particles plus water per unit volume. Saturated unit weight is equal to the bulk density when the total voids is filled up with water and is represented as γ_bulk = γ_dry+(S*(γ_saturated-γ_dry)) or Bulk Unit Weight = Dry Unit Weight+(Degree of Saturation*(Saturated Unit Weight of Soil-Dry Unit Weight)). Dry Unit Weight of soil is the weight of soil solids per unit of total volume of soil mass, Degree of Saturation is the ratio of the volume of water to the volume of voids & Saturated Unit Weight of Soil is defined as the weight per unit volume of soil when it is fully saturated with water.
