Saturated Unit Weight given Porosity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Saturated Unit Weight = (Specific Gravity of Soil Solids*Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics*(1-Porosity in Soil Mechanics))+(Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics*Porosity in Soil Mechanics)
γ_sat = (G*γ_w*(1-η))+(γ_w*η)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Saturated Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Saturated Unit Weight is the value of the unit weight of the soil when the soil is completely saturated with water that is all the soil pores are completely filled with water.
Specific Gravity of Soil Solids - Specific Gravity of Soil Solids is defined as the weight of soil solids to weight of 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.
Porosity in Soil Mechanics - Porosity in Soil Mechanics is the ratio of volume of voids to volume of soil.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Gravity of Soil Solids: 2.64 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics: 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Porosity in Soil Mechanics: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_sat = (G*γ_w*(1-η))+(γ_w*η) --> (2.64*9810*(1-0.5))+(9810*0.5)

Evaluating ... ...

γ_sat = 17854.2

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

17854.2 Newton per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

17854.2 Newton per Cubic Meter <-- Saturated Unit Weight

What is Porosity?

Porosity or void fraction is 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%.

How to Calculate Saturated Unit Weight given Porosity?

Saturated Unit Weight given Porosity calculator uses Saturated Unit Weight = (Specific Gravity of Soil Solids*Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics*(1-Porosity in Soil Mechanics))+(Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics*Porosity in Soil Mechanics) to calculate the Saturated Unit Weight, The Saturated Unit Weight given Porosity formula is defined as equal to the bulk density when the total voids are filled up with water. Buoyant unit weight or submerged unit weight is the effective mass per unit volume when the soil is submerged below standing water or below the ground water table. Saturated Unit Weight is denoted by γ_sat symbol.

How to calculate Saturated Unit Weight given Porosity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Saturated Unit Weight given Porosity, enter Specific Gravity of Soil Solids (G), Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics (γ_w) & Porosity in Soil Mechanics (η) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Saturated Unit Weight given Porosity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 17854.2 = (2.64*9810*(1-0.5))+(9810*0.5).
