Void Ratio of Soil using Saturated Unit Weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Void Ratio = (((Specific Gravity of Soil*Unit Weight of Soil)-Saturated Unit Weight)/(Saturated Unit Weight-Unit Weight of Water))
e = (((G_s*γ)-γ_sat)/(γ_sat-γ_water))
This formula uses 5 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 Soil - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil.
Saturated Unit Weight - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Saturated Unit Weight is the value of the unit weight of the soil when the soil is completely saturated with water that is all the soil pores are completely filled with water.
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is mass per unit of water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Gravity of Soil: 2.65 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Saturated Unit Weight: 24 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 24 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Water: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

e = (((G_s*γ)-γ_sat)/(γ_sat-γ_water)) --> (((2.65*18)-24)/(24-9.81))

Evaluating ... ...

e = 1.67019027484144

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.67019027484144 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.67019027484144 ≈ 1.67019 <-- Void Ratio
