Online Soil mechanics calculator to calculate dry unit weight of material.

Dry unit weight is the unit weight of a soil when all void spaces of the soil are completely filled with air, with no water.

Dry Unit Weight of Material Calculation

$γ_{d} = \frac{G_{s} \cdot γ_{w}}{1 + e}$

where,

G_s is the specific gravity of the solid
γ_w is the unit weight of water
e is the void ratio
γ_d the dry unit weight of the material

G_s is the specific gravity of the solid

γ_w is the unit weight of water

e is the void ratio

γ_d the dry unit weight of the material
