Void Ratio given Specific Gravity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Void Ratio = Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer*Specific Gravity of Soil/Degree of Saturation
e = w_s*G_s/S
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Void Ratio - Void Ratio is the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of solids.
Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer - Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of the solids in a given mass of soil.
Specific Gravity of Soil - Specific Gravity of Soil is an important property of soil being related to density.
Degree of Saturation - Degree of Saturation is the ratio of the volume of water to the volume of voids.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer: 0.61 --> No Conversion Required
Specific Gravity of Soil: 2.65 --> No Conversion Required
Degree of Saturation: 0.81 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

e = w_s*G_s/S --> 0.61*2.65/0.81

Evaluating ... ...

e = 1.99567901234568

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.99567901234568 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.99567901234568 ≈ 1.995679 <-- Void Ratio
