Formula Used
Dry Unit Weight = (1-Porosity in Soil Mechanics)*Specific Gravity of Soil*Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics
γdry = (1-η)*Gs*γw
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
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.
Porosity in Soil Mechanics - Porosity in Soil Mechanics is the ratio of volume of voids to volume of soil.
Specific Gravity of Soil - Specific Gravity of Soil is the ratio of the mass of soil solids to the mass of an equal volume of water.
Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics is the weight per unit volume of water.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Porosity in Soil Mechanics: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
Specific Gravity of Soil: 2.65 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics: 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
γdry = (1-η)*Gsw --> (1-0.5)*2.65*9810
Evaluating ... ...
γdry = 12998.25

Porosity of Soil Sample Calculators

Total Volume of Soil given Porosity of Soil Sample
​ LaTeX ​ Go Volume of Soil Sample = (Volume of Voids in Soil Mechanics/Porosity Volume Percent)*100
Volume of Voids Porosity of Soil Sample
​ LaTeX ​ Go Volume of Voids in Soil Mechanics = (Porosity Volume Percent*Volume of Soil Sample)/100
Porosity of Soil Sample
​ LaTeX ​ Go Porosity in Soil Mechanics = Volume of Voids in Soil Mechanics/Volume of Soil Sample
Porosity given Void Ratio
​ LaTeX ​ Go Porosity in Soil Mechanics = Void Ratio/(1+Void Ratio)
