Shrinkage Ratio of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Shrinkage Ratio = Dry Unit Weight/Unit Weight of Water
SR = γ_dry/γ_water
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Shrinkage Ratio - Shrinkage ratio is the ratio of a given volume change expressed as a percentage of dry volume to the corresponding charge in water content.
Dry Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Dry Unit Weight of soil is the weight of soil solids per unit of total volume of soil mass.
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is mass per unit of water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dry Unit Weight: 6.12 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 6120 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Unit Weight of Water: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

SR = γ_dry/γ_water --> 6120/9810

Evaluating ... ...

SR = 0.623853211009174

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.623853211009174 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.623853211009174 ≈ 0.623853 <-- Shrinkage Ratio

Unit Weight of Water given Saturated Unit Weight

LaTeX Go Unit Weight of Water = (Saturated Unit Weight*(1+Void Ratio)/((1+Water Content of Soil)*Specific Gravity of Soil))

Unit Weight of Water given Void Ratio

LaTeX Go Unit Weight of Water = (Saturated Unit Weight*(1+Void Ratio)/(Specific Gravity of Soil+Void Ratio))

Unit Weight of Water given Buoyant Unit Weight

LaTeX Go Dry Unit Weight = (Buoyant Unit Weight*(1+Void Ratio)/(Specific Gravity of Soil-1))

Unit Weight of Water given Dry Unit Weight

LaTeX Go Unit Weight of Water = (Dry Unit Weight*(1+Void Ratio)/Specific Gravity of Soil)

Shrinkage Ratio of Soil Formula

LaTeX Go

Shrinkage Ratio = Dry Unit Weight/Unit Weight of Water
SR = γ_dry/γ_water

What is the 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.

What is shrinkage index?

The shrinkage index is the numerical difference between the plastic limit and shrinkage limit of the remolded soil

How to Calculate Shrinkage Ratio of Soil?
