Specific Gravity Given Dry Unit Weight in Porosity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Gravity of Soil = Dry Unit Weight/((1-Porosity of Soil)*Unit Weight of Water)
G_s = γ_dry/((1-η)*γ_water)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Gravity of Soil - Specific Gravity of Soil is an important property of soil being related to density.
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.
Porosity of Soil - Porosity of Soil is the ratio of volume of voids to volume of soil.
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)
Porosity of Soil: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
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

G_s = γ_dry/((1-η)*γ_water) --> 6120/((1-0.5)*9810)

Evaluating ... ...

G_s = 1.24770642201835

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.24770642201835 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.24770642201835 ≈ 1.247706 <-- Specific Gravity of Soil
