Saturated Unit Weight of Soil with Saturation 100 Percent Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Saturated Unit Weight of Soil = (((Specific Gravity of Soil*Unit Weight of Water)+(Void Ratio of Soil*Unit Weight of Water))/(1+Void Ratio of Soil))
γ_saturated = (((G_s*γ_water)+(e_s*γ_water))/(1+e_s))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Saturated Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Saturated Unit Weight of Soil is defined as the weight per unit volume of soil when it is fully saturated with water.
Specific Gravity of Soil - Specific Gravity of Soil is defined as the ratio of the weight of a given volume of soil solids to the weight of an equal volume of water at a specified temperature (usually 4°C).
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is the weight per unit volume of water.
Void Ratio of Soil - Void Ratio of Soil mixture is the ratio of the volume of voids to volume of solids.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Gravity of Soil: 2.65 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Water: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Void Ratio of Soil: 2.3 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_saturated = (((G_s*γ_water)+(e_s*γ_water))/(1+e_s)) --> (((2.65*9810)+(2.3*9810))/(1+2.3))

Evaluating ... ...

γ_saturated = 14715

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

14715 Newton per Cubic Meter -->14.715 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

14.715 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Saturated Unit Weight of Soil

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
