Water Content of Soil given Saturated Unit Weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer = ((Saturated Unit Weight Of Soil*(1+Void Ratio)/(Specific Gravity of Soil*Unit Weight of Water))-1)
w_s = ((γ_saturated*(1+e)/(G_s*γ_water))-1)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer - Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of the solids in a given mass of soil.
Saturated Unit Weight Of Soil - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Saturated Unit Weight Of Soil is the ratio of mass of saturated soil sample to total volume.
Void Ratio - The Void Ratio of a mixture is the ratio of the volume of voids to 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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Saturated Unit Weight Of Soil: 22 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 22 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Void Ratio: 0.3 --> No Conversion Required
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

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w_s = ((γ_saturated*(1+e)/(G_s*γ_water))-1) --> ((22*(1+0.3)/(2.65*9.81))-1)

Evaluating ... ...

w_s = 0.100148096859193

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.100148096859193 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.100148096859193 ≈ 0.100148 <-- Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer
