Online soil mechanics calculator to calculate saturated unit weight of the material easily.

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

Saturated Unit Weight of the Material Calculation

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

where,

G_s is the specific gravity of the solid
e is the void ratio
γ_w is the unit weight of water
γ_s is the saturated unit weight of the material

G_s is the specific gravity of the solid

e is the void ratio

γ_w is the unit weight of water

γ_s is the saturated unit weight of the material
