Volume of Soil for Sand Filling in Sand Cone Method Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Volume of Soil = (Weight of Total Soil/Density of Sand)
V = (W_t/ρ)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Volume of Soil - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Soil is the amount of space occupied by soil particles, voids, and air within a given volume of soil mass.
Weight of Total Soil - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of Total Soil is the total weight of soil present in a given volume of earth. It helps to determine the current density of the soil after compaction efforts.
Density of Sand - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Sand is ratio of mass of sand to its volume. Sand density is a key parameter in classifying soil types, which aids in selecting appropriate construction methods and materials.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Total Soil: 80 Kilogram --> 80 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Density of Sand: 4.67 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 4.67 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V = (W_t/ρ) --> (80/4.67)

Evaluating ... ...

V = 17.1306209850107

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

17.1306209850107 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

17.1306209850107 ≈ 17.13062 Cubic Meter <-- Volume of Soil
