Shrinkage Ratio of Soil Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Shrinkage Ratio of Soil?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

SR = \frac{γ dry}{γ water}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

SR = \frac{6.12kN/m³}{9.81kN/m³}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

SR = \frac{6120N/m³}{9810N/m³}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

SR = \frac{6120}{9810}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

SR = 0.623853211009174

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

SR = 0.6239
