Bulk Unit Weight Calculator
Posted by Dinesh onThis calculator can be used to determine the bulk unit weight of a soil or solid bulk cargo. Bulk unit weight (γb) or wet unit weight is the bulk or wet weight of soil per unit volume and it is usually expressed as kN/m³.
Bulk Unit Weight of Soil Calculation
Formula:
Where:
g = acceleration due to gravity (~9.81 m/s²),
Wt = total wet or bulk weight of material,
Vt = total volume,
S = degree of saturation (%),
ρst = specific gravity or particle density (t/m³ or g/cm³)
e = void ratio,
γb = bulk unit weight (kN/m³).
