Porosity Given Relative Density in Porosity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Porosity of Soil = (Maximum Porosity*(1-Minimum Porosity-Relative Density in Soil Mechanics)+Relative Density in Soil Mechanics*Minimum Porosity)/(1-Minimum Porosity+Relative Density in Soil Mechanics*Minimum Porosity-Relative Density in Soil Mechanics*Maximum Porosity)
η = (n_max*(1-n_min-R_D)+R_D*n_min)/(1-n_min+R_D*n_min-R_D*n_max)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Porosity of Soil - Porosity of Soill is the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of soil.
Maximum Porosity - Maximum Porosity is the porosity at the loosest state.
Minimum Porosity - Minimum Porosity is the porosity at densest state.
Relative Density in Soil Mechanics - Relative Density in Soil Mechanics is density of an object in terms of the density of another reference object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Porosity: 0.92 --> No Conversion Required
Minimum Porosity: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Relative Density in Soil Mechanics: 0.67 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η = (n_max*(1-n_min-R_D)+R_D*n_min)/(1-n_min+R_D*n_min-R_D*n_max) --> (0.92*(1-0.8-0.67)+0.67*0.8)/(1-0.8+0.67*0.8-0.67*0.92)

Evaluating ... ...

η = 0.866220735785953

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.866220735785953 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.866220735785953 ≈ 0.866221 <-- Porosity of Soil

What is Relative Density?

Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material.

How to Calculate Porosity Given Relative Density in Porosity?

Porosity Given Relative Density in Porosity calculator uses Porosity of Soil = (Maximum Porosity*(1-Minimum Porosity-Relative Density in Soil Mechanics)+Relative Density in Soil Mechanics*Minimum Porosity)/(1-Minimum Porosity+Relative Density in Soil Mechanics*Minimum Porosity-Relative Density in Soil Mechanics*Maximum Porosity) to calculate the Porosity of Soil, Porosity Given Relative Density in Porosity is defined as the measure of the void (i.e. "empty") spaces in a material, and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume, between 0 and 1, or as a percentage between 0% and 100%. Porosity of Soil is denoted by η symbol.
