Swell in Soil given Original Volume of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Swell = 10000*((Loaded Volume/Original volume of Soil)-1)
s' = 10000*((V_L/V_O)-1)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Swell - Swell is the increase in volume that occurs when certain types of soil, particularly expansive clays, absorb water.
Loaded Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Loaded Volume is the volume of soil after excavation.
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

Loaded Volume: 25 Cubic Meter --> 25 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' = 10000*((V_L/V_O)-1) --> 10000*((25/22)-1)

Evaluating ... ...

s' = 1363.63636363636

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1363.63636363636 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1363.63636363636 ≈ 1363.636 <-- Swell

Original Volume of Soil before Excavation given Percent Swell

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

Loaded Volume of Soil given Original Volume of Soil

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

Load Factor given Original Volume of Soil

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

Original Volume of Soil before Excavation

Go Original volume of Soil = Loaded Volume*Load Factor

Swell in Soil given Original Volume of Soil Formula

Swell = 10000*((Loaded Volume/Original volume of Soil)-1)
s' = 10000*((V_L/V_O)-1)

What is Swelling Soil?

Swelling soils, also known as expansive soils, are ones that swell in volume when subjected to moisture. These swelling soils typically contain clay minerals that attract and absorb water. When water is introduced to expansive soils, the water molecules are pulled into gaps between the soil plates.

How to Calculate Swell in Soil given Original Volume of Soil?

Swell in Soil given Original Volume of Soil calculator uses Swell = 10000*((Loaded Volume/Original volume of Soil)-1) to calculate the Swell, The Swell in Soil given Original Volume of Soil is defined as the swell in volume when subjected to moisture or when it get excavated. Swell is denoted by s' symbol.

How to calculate Swell in Soil given Original Volume of Soil using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Swell in Soil given Original Volume of Soil, enter Loaded Volume (V_L) & Original volume of Soil (V_O) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Swell in Soil given Original Volume of Soil calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1363.636 = 10000*((25/22)-1).
