Total volume of soil, abbreviated as \( V_t \), is the volume of soil plus the total volume of air and water.
Total Volume of Soil Formula |

|
\( V_t \;=\; V_s + V_v \) (Total Volume of Soil) \( V_s \;=\; V_t - V_v \) \( V_v \;=\; V_t - V_s \) |

| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \( V_t \) = Total Volume of Soil | \(ft^3\) | \(m^3\) |
| \( V_s \) = Volume of Solid Soil | \(ft^3\) | \(m^3\) |
| \( V_v \) = Volume of Voids (Air and Water) | \(ft^3\) | \(m^3\) |
