Original Volume of Soil given Compacted Volume Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Original volume of Soil = (Compacted Volume/Shrinkage Factor)
VO = (Vc/S)
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Original volume of Soil - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Original volume of Soil is the volume of soil before excavation.
Compacted Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Compacted Volume is the volume of soil after compaction is done on excavated soil.
Shrinkage Factor - Shrinkage Factor is the specific volume change of soil relative to its water content and is mainly due to clay swelling properties.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Compacted Volume: 15 Cubic Meter --> 15 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Shrinkage Factor: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
VO = (Vc/S) --> (15/0.5)
Evaluating ... ...
VO = 30
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
30 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
30 Cubic Meter <-- Original volume of Soil
(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

Original Volume of Soil before Excavation given Percent Swell
Go Original volume of Soil = (100/(100+0.01*Swell in Soil))*Loaded Volume
Loaded Volume of Soil given Percent Swell
Go Loaded Volume = (Original volume of Soil*(100+0.01*Swell in Soil)/100)
Swell in Soil given Original Volume of Soil
Go Swell in Soil = 10000*((Loaded Volume/Original volume of Soil)-1)
Compacted Volume of Soil after Excavation of Soil
Go Compacted Volume = (Original volume of Soil*Shrinkage Factor)
Shrinkage Factor using Compacted Volume of Soil
Go Shrinkage Factor = (Compacted Volume/Original volume of Soil)
Original Volume of Soil given Compacted Volume
Go Original volume of Soil = (Compacted Volume/Shrinkage Factor)
Loaded Volume of Soil given Original Volume of Soil
Go Loaded Volume = (Original volume of Soil/Load Factor)
Load Factor given Original Volume of Soil
Go Load Factor = (Original volume of Soil/Loaded Volume)
Original Volume of Soil before Excavation
Go Original volume of Soil = Loaded Volume*Load Factor

Original Volume of Soil given Compacted Volume Formula

Original volume of Soil = (Compacted Volume/Shrinkage Factor)
VO = (Vc/S)

What is Shrinkage Factor?

The Shrinkage Factor indicates the reduction in volume of soil from the borrow pit stage to the final compacted stage, while the bulkage factor accounts for the increase in volume of the soil between the pit and the loose state in the truck.
