Void Ratio given Dry Density Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Void Ratio = ((Specific Gravity of Particle*Unit Weight of Water)/Dry Unit Weight)-1
e = ((G*γ_water)/γ_dry)-1
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Void Ratio - Void Ratio is the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of solids.
Specific Gravity of Particle - Specific Gravity of Particle is the ratio of density of particle to density of standard material.
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is mass per unit of water.
Dry Unit Weight - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Dry Unit Weight of soil is the weight of soil solids per unit of total volume of soil mass.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Gravity of Particle: 16.01 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Water: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Dry Unit Weight: 6.12 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 6.12 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

e = ((G*γ_water)/γ_dry)-1 --> ((16.01*9.81)/6.12)-1

Evaluating ... ...

e = 24.6630882352941

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

24.6630882352941 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

24.6630882352941 ≈ 24.66309 <-- Void Ratio

What is Dry Density?

It refers to the density of the soil, when it is taken in the dry state. The soil mass is commonly a mixture of air, water and soil solids. The dry density refers to the soil solids. It is otherwise called as dry unit weight of soil.

How to Calculate Void Ratio given Dry Density?

Void Ratio given Dry Density calculator uses Void Ratio = ((Specific Gravity of Particle*Unit Weight of Water)/Dry Unit Weight)-1 to calculate the Void Ratio, The Void Ratio given Dry Density formula is defined as mixture is the ratio of the volume of voids to volume of solids. It is a dimensionless quantity in materials science, and is closely related to porosity. Void Ratio is denoted by e symbol.

How to calculate Void Ratio given Dry Density using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Void Ratio given Dry Density, enter Specific Gravity of Particle (G), Unit Weight of Water (γ_water) & Dry Unit Weight (γ_dry) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Void Ratio given Dry Density calculation can be explained with given input values -> 8.816131 = ((16.01*9810)/6120)-1.

FAQ
