What is formula for degree of saturation?
Vw/ Vv
1 of 8
What is formula for bulk unit weight?
γ = ρg
2 of 8
What is formula for saturated unit weight?
γ sat = (Gs + e/ 1+e )γ w = Ws + Ww/ 1+e
3 of 8
What is formula for dry unit weight?
γ d = (Gs /1+ e)γ w = γ/ 1+w = Ws/ 1+e
4 of 8
what's formula and definition for porosity? Porosity (n);
fraction of volume of voids between 0 and 1. Vv/VT * 100%
5 of 8
What's formula for Specific volume (v); and definition?
Ratio of a substance's volume to it's mass. v = V/M
6 of 8
what's formula for Effective (or buoyant) unit weight (γ).
Effective mass per unit volume when the soil is completely submerged in water. γ′=(G−1)γw/1+e which is same as saturated unit weight minus unit weight of water.
