Shrinkage Factor using Compacted Volume of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Shrinkage Factor = (Compacted Volume/Original volume of Soil)
S = (V_c/V_O)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Shrinkage Factor - Shrinkage Factor is the specific volume change of soil relative to its water content and is mainly due to clay swelling properties.
Compacted Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Compacted Volume is the volume of soil after compaction that done on excavated soil.
Original volume of Soil - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Original volume of Soil is the volume of soil before excavation.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Compacted Volume: 11 Cubic Meter --> 11 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Original volume of Soil: 22 Cubic Meter --> 22 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = (V_c/V_O) --> (11/22)

Evaluating ... ...

S = 0.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.5 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.5 <-- Shrinkage Factor

Original Volume of Soil before Excavation given Percent Swell

LaTeX Go Original volume of Soil = (100/(100+0.01*Swell in Soil))*Loaded Volume

Loaded Volume of Soil given Original Volume of Soil

LaTeX Go Loaded Volume = (Original volume of Soil/Load Factor)

Load Factor given Original Volume of Soil

LaTeX Go Load Factor = (Original volume of Soil/Loaded Volume)

Original Volume of Soil before Excavation

LaTeX Go Original volume of Soil = Loaded Volume*Load Factor

Shrinkage Factor using Compacted Volume of Soil Formula

LaTeX Go

Shrinkage Factor = (Compacted Volume/Original volume of Soil)
S = (V_c/V_O)

What is Shrinkage Factor?

The shrinkage factor indicates the reduction in volume of soil from the borrow pit stage to the final compacted stage, while the bulkage factor accounts for the increase in volume of the soil between the pit and the loose state in the truck.

How to Calculate Shrinkage Factor using Compacted Volume of Soil?

Shrinkage Factor using Compacted Volume of Soil calculator uses Shrinkage Factor = (Compacted Volume/Original volume of Soil) to calculate the Shrinkage Factor, The Shrinkage Factor using Compacted Volume of Soil formula is defined as the ratio between the volume of soil after compaction (compacted volume) and the volume of soil after it has fully dried and stabilized (shrinkage volume). Shrinkage Factor is denoted by S symbol.

How to calculate Shrinkage Factor using Compacted Volume of Soil using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Shrinkage Factor using Compacted Volume of Soil, enter Compacted Volume (V_c) & Original volume of Soil (V_O) and hit the calculate button.
