Dry Density of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Dry Density = Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics/Total Volume in Soil Mechanics
ρ_d = W_s/V
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Dry Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Dry Density is defined as the mass of soil particles per unit volume of soil when the soil is completely dry.
Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics means the actual weight of the solid particle present in the soil.
Total Volume in Soil Mechanics - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Total Volume in Soil Mechanics is defined as the total capacity.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics: 0.602 Kilogram --> 0.602 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Total Volume in Soil Mechanics: 12.254 Cubic Meter --> 12.254 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ρ_d = W_s/V --> 0.602/12.254

Evaluating ... ...

ρ_d = 0.049126815733638

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.049126815733638 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.049126815733638 ≈ 0.049127 Kilogram per Cubic Meter <-- Dry Density

Dry Density of Soil

Go Dry Density = Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics/Total Volume in Soil Mechanics

Total Volume of Soil given Bulk Density of Soil

Go Total Volume in Soil Mechanics = Total Weight of Soil/Bulk Density of Soil

Total Mass of Soil given Bulk Density of Soil

Go Total Weight of Soil = Bulk Density of Soil*Total Volume in Soil Mechanics

Bulk Density of Soil

Go Bulk Density of Soil = Total Weight of Soil/Total Volume in Soil Mechanics

Dry Density of Soil Formula

Dry Density = Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics/Total Volume in Soil Mechanics
ρ_d = W_s/V

What is Volume?

Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface, for example, the space that a substance or shape occupies or contains.

How to Calculate Dry Density of Soil?

Dry Density of Soil calculator uses Dry Density = Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics/Total Volume in Soil Mechanics to calculate the Dry Density, The Dry Density of Soil formula is defined as the mass of dry soil per unit volume of soil, it indicates how well soil particles are compacted. Higher dry densities generally imply better compaction, which is crucial for supporting structures and minimizing settlement. Dry Density is denoted by ρ_d symbol.
