Degree of Saturation given Void Ratio in Specific Gravity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Degree of Saturation = Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer*Specific Gravity of Soil/Void Ratio
S = w_s*G_s/e
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Degree of Saturation - Degree of Saturation is the ratio of the volume of water to the volume of voids.
Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer - Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of the solids in a given mass of soil.
Specific Gravity of Soil - Specific Gravity of Soil is an important property of soil being related to density.
Void Ratio - Void Ratio is the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of solids.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer: 0.61 --> No Conversion Required
Specific Gravity of Soil: 2.65 --> No Conversion Required
Void Ratio: 1.2 --> No Conversion Required
