Volume of Solids given Dry Unit Weight in Unit Weight of Solids Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Volume of Solids = Dry Unit Weight*Total Volume in Soil Mechanics/Unit Weight of Solids
Vs = γ_dry*V/γ_soilds
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Volume of Solids - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Solids is the space captured by the solids in soil.
Dry Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Dry Unit Weight of soil is the weight of soil solids per unit of total volume of soil mass.
Total Volume in Soil Mechanics - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Total Volume in Soil Mechanics is defined as the total capacity.
Unit Weight of Solids - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Solids is the ratio of weight of solids to volume of solids.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dry Unit Weight: 6.12 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 6120 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Total Volume in Soil Mechanics: 12.254 Cubic Meter --> 12.254 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Solids: 15 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 15000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Vs = γ_dry*V/γ_soilds --> 6120*12.254/15000

Evaluating ... ...

Vs = 4.999632

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.999632 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.999632 Cubic Meter <-- Volume of Solids

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

< Water Content and Volume of Solids in Soil Calculators

Total Mass of Soil

Go Total Mass of Sand in Soil Mechanics = (Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer*Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics/100)+Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics

Mass of Water given Water Content with respect to Mass of Water

Go Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics = Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer*Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics/100

Dry Mass given Water Content with respect to Mass of Water

Go Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics = Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics*100/Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer

Volume of Solids given Density of Solids

Go Volume of Solids in Soil = Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics/Dry Density

Volume of Solids given Dry Unit Weight in Unit Weight of Solids Formula

Volume of Solids = Dry Unit Weight*Total Volume in Soil Mechanics/Unit Weight of Solids
Vs = γ_dry*V/γ_soilds
