Void ratio of soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Void Ratio of Soil = (Volume of Voids/Solid Volume)
e_s = (V_v/V_s)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Void Ratio of Soil - Void Ratio of Soil mixture is the ratio of the volume of voids to volume of solids.
Volume of Voids - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Voids is the volume occupy by the air and water.
Solid Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Solid Volume is the space occupied by the solid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume of Voids: 6.5 Cubic Meter --> 6.5 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Solid Volume: 3 Cubic Meter --> 3 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

e_s = (V_v/V_s) --> (6.5/3)

Evaluating ... ...

e_s = 2.16666666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.16666666666667 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.16666666666667 ≈ 2.166667 <-- Void Ratio of Soil

Relative Density of Cohesionless Soil given Unit Weight of Soil

Go Relative Density in Soil Mechanics = ((1/Minimum Unit Weight)-(1/Dry Unit Weight))/((1/Minimum Unit Weight)-(1/Maximum Unit Weight))

Relative Density of Cohesionless Soil given Void Ratio

Go Relative Density in Soil Mechanics = ((Maximum Void Ratio-Natural Void Ratio)/(Maximum Void Ratio-Minimum Void Ratio))

Maximum Void Ratio of Soil given Relative Density

Go Maximum Void Ratio = (Natural Void Ratio-(Relative Density*Minimum Void Ratio))/(1-Relative Density)

Minimum Void Ratio of Soil given Relative Density

Go Minimum Void Ratio = (Maximum Void Ratio-((Maximum Void Ratio-Natural Void Ratio)/Relative Density))
