Weight of Soil
Weight of Soil formulas
| \(\large{ W_s = \frac{ W }{ 1 \;+\; w } }\) | |
| \(\large{ W_s = \frac{ V_t \; \left( G_s \;+\; S \; e \right) \; \gamma_w }{1 \;+\; e } }\) |
Where:
\(\large{ W_s } \) = weight of soil
\(\large{ S }\) = degree of saturation
\(\large{ G_s }\) = specific gravity of soil
\(\large{ W } \) = total weight
\(\large{ V_t } \) = total volume of soil
\(\large{ \gamma_w } \) (Greek symbol gamma) = unit weight of water
\(\large{ e }\) = void ratio
\(\large{ w } \) = water content
