Submerged Unit Weight with respect to Saturated Unit Weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Submerged Unit Weight in KN per Cubic Meter = Saturated Unit Weight of Soil-Unit Weight of Water
y_S = γ_saturated-γ_water
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Submerged Unit Weight in KN per Cubic Meter - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Submerged Unit Weight in KN per Cubic Meter is the unit weight of a weight of soil as observed under water in a saturated condition of course.
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.
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is the weight per unit volume of water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Saturated Unit Weight of Soil: 11.89 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 11890 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

y_S = γ_saturated-γ_water --> 11890-9810

Evaluating ... ...

y_S = 2080

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2080 Newton per Cubic Meter -->2.08 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

2.08 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Submerged Unit Weight in KN per Cubic Meter

< Unit Weight of Soil Calculators

Gross Pressure Intensity given Average Unit Weight of Soil

LaTeX Go Gross Pressure = Net Pressure+(Unit Weight of Soil*Depth of Footing in Soil)

Average Unit Weight of Soil given Net Pressure Intensity

LaTeX Go Unit Weight of Soil = (Gross Pressure-Net Pressure)/Depth of Footing in Soil

Average Unit Weight of Soil given Effective Surcharge

LaTeX Go Unit Weight of Soil = Effective Surcharge in Kilopascal/Depth of Footing in Soil

Gross Pressure Intensity given Net Pressure Intensity

LaTeX Go Gross Pressure = Net Pressure+Effective Surcharge in Kilopascal
