Porosity given Dry Unit Weight in Porosity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Porosity in Soil Mechanics = 1-(Dry Unit Weight/(Specific Gravity of Soil*Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics))
η = 1-(γ_dry/(G_s*γ_w))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Porosity in Soil Mechanics - Porosity in Soil Mechanics is the ratio of volume of voids to volume of soil.
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 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

Dry Unit Weight: 12.99 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 12990 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
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

η = 1-(γ_dry/(G_s*γ_w)) --> 1-(12990/(2.65*9810))

Evaluating ... ...

η = 0.500317350412556

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.500317350412556 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.500317350412556 ≈ 0.500317 <-- Porosity in Soil Mechanics
