Original Volume of Soil given Compacted Volume Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Original volume of Soil = (Compacted Volume/Shrinkage Factor)
V_O = (V_c/S)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Original volume of Soil - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Original volume of Soil is the volume of soil before excavation.
Compacted Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Compacted Volume is the volume of soil after compaction that done on excavated soil.
Shrinkage Factor - Shrinkage Factor is the specific volume change of soil relative to its water content and is mainly due to clay swelling properties.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Compacted Volume: 11 Cubic Meter --> 11 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Shrinkage Factor: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_O = (V_c/S) --> (11/0.5)

Evaluating ... ...

V_O = 22

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

22 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

22 Cubic Meter <-- Original volume of Soil

Original Volume of Soil given Compacted Volume Formula

LaTeX Go

Original volume of Soil = (Compacted Volume/Shrinkage Factor)
V_O = (V_c/S)

What is Shrinkage Factor?

The Shrinkage Factor indicates the reduction in volume of soil from the borrow pit stage to the final compacted stage, while the bulkage factor accounts for the increase in volume of the soil between the pit and the loose state in the truck.
