Saturation for Total Pressure per unit Area for Dams on Soft Foundations Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Degree of Saturation = (Total Pressure*(1+Void Ratio)/(Depth of Dam*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter))-Void Ratio
S = (P_T*(1+e)/(D*W))-e
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Degree of Saturation - Degree of Saturation is the ratio of the volume of water to the volume of voids.
Total Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Total pressure refers to the combined pressure exerted by both static pressure and dynamic pressure in a fluid system.
Void Ratio - Void Ratio is the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of solids.
Depth of Dam - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Dam is the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something.
Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter is the weight per unit volume of water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Pressure: 105 Pascal --> 105 Pascal No Conversion Required
Void Ratio: 1.2 --> No Conversion Required
Depth of Dam: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = (P_T*(1+e)/(D*W))-e --> (105*(1+1.2)/(3*9.81))-1.2

Evaluating ... ...

S = 6.64913353720693

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.64913353720693 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.64913353720693 ≈ 6.649134 <-- Degree of Saturation
