Degree of Saturation of Soil Sample Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Degree of Saturation = (Volume of Water/Void Space Volume)
S = (Vw/Vv)
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Degree of Saturation - Degree of Saturation is the ratio of the volume of water to the volume of voids.
Volume of Water - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of water is the space that water takes in a container.
Void Space Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Void Space Volume is the void space volume between the particles containing water and/or air.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Volume of Water: 2 Cubic Meter --> 2 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Void Space Volume: 3 Cubic Meter --> 3 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
S = (Vw/Vv) --> (2/3)
Evaluating ... ...
S = 0.666666666666667
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.666666666666667 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.666666666666667 0.666667 <-- Degree of Saturation
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

7 Degree of Saturation Calculators

Buoyant Unit Weight of Soil with Saturation 100 Percent
Go Buoyant Unit Weight = (((Specific Gravity of Soil*Unit Weight of Water)-Unit Weight of Water)/(1+Void Ratio))
Degree of Saturation given Void Ratio in Specific Gravity
Go Degree of Saturation = Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer*Specific Gravity of Soil/Void Ratio
Degree of Saturation of Soil Sample
Go Degree of Saturation = (Volume of Water/Void Space Volume)
Volume of Water given Degree of Saturation of Soil Sample
Go Volume of Water = Degree of Saturation*Void Space Volume
Volume of Voids given Degree of Saturation of Soil Sample
Go Void Space Volume = Volume of Water/Degree of Saturation
Degree of Saturation given Air Content with Respect to Degree of Saturation
Go Degree of Saturation = 1-Air Content
Air Content with Respect to Degree of Saturation
Go Air Content = 1-Degree of Saturation

Degree of Saturation of Soil Sample Formula

Degree of Saturation = (Volume of Water/Void Space Volume)
S = (Vw/Vv)

What is Voids?

A void is a pore that remains unfilled with unit material in a composite material. Voids are typically the result of environmental and other constraints.
