Void Ratio of Soil using Buoyant Unit Weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Void Ratio = ((Specific Gravity of Soil*Unit Weight of Water-Unit Weight of Water-Buoyant Unit Weight)/Buoyant Unit Weight)
e = ((G_s*γ_water-γ_water-γ_b)/γ_b)
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 Soil - Specific Gravity of Soil is an important property of soil being related to density.
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is mass per unit of water.
Buoyant Unit Weight - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Buoyant unit weight is the effective mass per unit volume when the soil is submerged below standing water or below the ground water table.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Gravity of Soil: 2.65 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Water: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Buoyant Unit Weight: 6 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 6 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

e = ((G_s*γ_water-γ_water-γ_b)/γ_b) --> ((2.65*9.81-9.81-6)/6)

Evaluating ... ...

e = 1.69775

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.69775 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.69775 <-- Void Ratio
