Degree of Saturation of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Degree of Saturation = ((Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer*Specific Gravity of Soil)/Void Ratio of Soil)
S = ((w_s*G_s)/e_s)
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 of Soil - Void Ratio of Soil mixture is the ratio of the volume of voids to 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 of Soil: 2.3 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = ((w_s*G_s)/e_s) --> ((0.61*2.65)/2.3)

Evaluating ... ...

S = 0.702826086956522

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.702826086956522 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.702826086956522 ≈ 0.702826 <-- Degree of Saturation
