All the basic Soil Water and Air Relations and Formulae, Three phase diagram II Soil Mechanics

Basic Soil and Water Relationships.
 Soil is considered a three-phase material, made of soil, water and air. The basic formulae used are written below. 




Sl No
Relationship in mass density
Relationship in unit weight
1
n = e/(1+e)
n = e/(1+e)
2
e = n/(1-n)
e = n/(1-n)
3
na = n ac
na = n ac
4
P= (G+Se)Pw/(1+e)
Y= (G+Se) Y w/(1+e)
5
Pd = GPw/(1+e)
Yd = G Yw/(1+e)
6
Psat = (G+e)Pw/(1+e)
Ysat = (G+e) Yw/(1+e)
7
P’ = (G-1)Pw/(1+e)
Y’ = (G-1) Y w/(1+e)
8
e = wG/s
e = wG/s
9
Pd = P/(1+w)
Yd = Y/(1+w)
10
P= (1-na)G Pw/(1+wG)
Y= (1-na)G Y w/(1+wG)


Notations used: 
n = porosity, 
e = void ratio, 
na = air content,
P = Density,  Pd= dry density, 
Psat = saturated density, P' = submerged density
Y = Unit weight density, Yd = dry unit weight, 
Ysat = Saturated Unit weight, Y' = submerged unit weight
G = Specific Gravity
S = Saturation
w = water content

Thanks!
