Submerged Unit Weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Submerged Unit Weight of Water = Submerged Weight of Solids/Total Volume in Soil Mechanics
γ_su = W_d/V
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Submerged Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Submerged Unit Weight of Water is the submerged mass of soil per unit total volume.
Submerged Weight of Solids - (Measured in Kilogram) - Submerged Weight of Solids is the effective weight of soil solids when submerged under water.
Total Volume in Soil Mechanics - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Total Volume in Soil Mechanics is defined as the total capacity.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Submerged Weight of Solids: 98.032 Kilogram --> 98.032 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Total Volume in Soil Mechanics: 12.254 Cubic Meter --> 12.254 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_su = W_d/V --> 98.032/12.254

Evaluating ... ...

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
