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

Moist unit weight is the unit weight of a soil when void spaces of the soil contain both water and air.

Moist Unit Weight of the Material calculation

$γ = \frac{(1 + w) \cdot G_{s} \cdot γ_{w}}{1 + e}$

where,

w is the moisture content 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 is the moist unit weight of the material

w is the moisture content 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 is the moist unit weight of the material
