Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Compacted Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Compacted Volume is the volume of soil after compaction that done on excavated soil.
Original volume of Soil - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Original volume of Soil is the volume of soil before excavation.
Shrinkage Factor - Shrinkage Factor is the specific volume change of soil relative to its water content and is mainly due to clay swelling properties.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Original volume of Soil: 22 Cubic Meter --> 22 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Shrinkage Factor: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_c = (V_O*S) --> (22*0.5)

Evaluating ... ...

V_c = 11

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

11 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

11 Cubic Meter <-- Compacted Volume

Original Volume of Soil before Excavation given Percent Swell

LaTeX Go Original volume of Soil = (100/(100+0.01*Swell in Soil))*Loaded Volume

Loaded Volume of Soil given Original Volume of Soil

LaTeX Go Loaded Volume = (Original volume of Soil/Load Factor)

Load Factor given Original Volume of Soil

LaTeX Go Load Factor = (Original volume of Soil/Loaded Volume)

Original Volume of Soil before Excavation

LaTeX Go Original volume of Soil = Loaded Volume*Load Factor

Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil Formula

LaTeX Go

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

What is Compaction?

Compaction is a process that brings about an increase in soil density or unit weight, accompanied by a decrease in air volume. There is usually no change in water content. For a given compactive effort, the maximum dry unit weight occurs at an optimum water content.

How to Calculate Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil?

Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil calculator uses Compacted Volume = (Original volume of Soil*Shrinkage Factor) to calculate the Compacted Volume, The Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil formula is defined as the volume of soil after it has been excavated, transported, placed in its final position, and compacted to a specified density. This compacted volume is typically less than the initial volume of soil due to the reduction of air voids and the reorganization of soil particles during the compaction process. Compacted Volume is denoted by V_c symbol.

How to calculate Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil, enter Original volume of Soil (V_O) & Shrinkage Factor (S) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil calculation can be explained with given input values -> 11 = (22*0.5).

FAQ

What is Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil?

The Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil formula is defined as the volume of soil after it has been excavated, transported, placed in its final position, and compacted to a specified density. This compacted volume is typically less than the initial volume of soil due to the reduction of air voids and the reorganization of soil particles during the compaction process and is represented as V_c = (V_O*S) or Compacted Volume = (Original volume of Soil*Shrinkage Factor). Original volume of Soil is the volume of soil before excavation & Shrinkage Factor is the specific volume change of soil relative to its water content and is mainly due to clay swelling properties.

How to calculate Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil?

The Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil formula is defined as the volume of soil after it has been excavated, transported, placed in its final position, and compacted to a specified density. This compacted volume is typically less than the initial volume of soil due to the reduction of air voids and the reorganization of soil particles during the compaction process is calculated using Compacted Volume = (Original volume of Soil*Shrinkage Factor). To calculate Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil, you need Original volume of Soil (V_O) & Shrinkage Factor (S). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Original volume of Soil & Shrinkage Factor and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
