Porosity of Soil Sample Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Porosity in Soil Mechanics = Volume of Voids in Soil Mechanics/Volume of Soil Sample
η = V_void/V_t
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Porosity in Soil Mechanics - Porosity in Soil Mechanics is the ratio of volume of voids to volume of soil.
Volume of Voids in Soil Mechanics - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Voids in Soil Mechanics is space captured by voids.
Volume of Soil Sample - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Soil Sample is the combined volume of solids and pores which may contain volume of air or volume of water, or both.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume of Voids in Soil Mechanics: 6 Cubic Meter --> 6 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Volume of Soil Sample: 50 Cubic Meter --> 50 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

What is Volume?

Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface, for example, the space that a substance or shape occupies or contains.

How to Calculate Porosity of Soil Sample?

Porosity of Soil Sample calculator uses Porosity in Soil Mechanics = Volume of Voids in Soil Mechanics/Volume of Soil Sample to calculate the Porosity in Soil Mechanics, The Porosity of Soil Sample formula is defined as a 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 in Soil Mechanics is denoted by η symbol.

How to calculate Porosity of Soil Sample using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Porosity of Soil Sample, enter Volume of Voids in Soil Mechanics (V_void) & Volume of Soil Sample (V_t) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Porosity of Soil Sample calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.12 = 6/50.

FAQ

What is Porosity of Soil Sample?

The Porosity of Soil Sample formula is defined as a 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% and is represented as η = V_void/V_t or Porosity in Soil Mechanics = Volume of Voids in Soil Mechanics/Volume of Soil Sample. Volume of Voids in Soil Mechanics is space captured by voids & Volume of Soil Sample is the combined volume of solids and pores which may contain volume of air or volume of water, or both.

How to calculate Porosity of Soil Sample?

The Porosity of Soil Sample formula is defined as a 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% is calculated using Porosity in Soil Mechanics = Volume of Voids in Soil Mechanics/Volume of Soil Sample. To calculate Porosity of Soil Sample, you need Volume of Voids in Soil Mechanics (V_void) & Volume of Soil Sample (V_t). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Volume of Voids in Soil Mechanics & Volume of Soil Sample and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Porosity in Soil Mechanics?

In this formula, Porosity in Soil Mechanics uses Volume of Voids in Soil Mechanics & Volume of Soil Sample. We can use 3 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Porosity in Soil Mechanics = Void Ratio/(1+Void Ratio)
Porosity in Soil Mechanics = Percentage of Air Voids/Air Content
Porosity in Soil Mechanics = 1-(Dry Unit Weight/(Specific Gravity of Soil*Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics))
