10+ FORMULAS TO SOLVE GEO TECHNICAL PROBLEMS ON PHASE RELATIONSHIP

Phase problems are very important in soil engineering. Below are given most commonly used formulas to solve problems related to weight volume calculations. The notations used in these formulas are as follows,

Weight Volume Relationship
Weight Volume Relationship

 

γb = Bulk density of soil mass

γw = Density of water

γsat = Saturated density

γsub = Submerged density

G = Specific gravity of soil solids

e = Void ratio

η = Porosity

S = Saturation

W = Water content

Ws = Weight of soil solids only

Vs = Volume of soil solids only
