Dry Unit Weight of Soil when Saturation is 0 Percent Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Dry Unit Weight = ((Specific Gravity of Soil*Unit Weight of Water)/(1+Void Ratio of Soil))
γ_dry = ((G_s*γ_water)/(1+e_s))
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.
Specific Gravity of Soil - Specific Gravity of Soil is defined as the ratio of the weight of a given volume of soil solids to the weight of an equal volume of water at a specified temperature (usually 4°C).
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is the weight per unit volume of water.
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

Specific Gravity of Soil: 2.65 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Water: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Void Ratio of Soil: 2.3 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_dry = ((G_s*γ_water)/(1+e_s)) --> ((2.65*9810)/(1+2.3))

Evaluating ... ...

γ_dry = 7877.72727272727

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7877.72727272727 Newton per Cubic Meter -->7.87772727272727 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

7.87772727272727 ≈ 7.877727 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Dry Unit Weight
