Unit Weight of Soil in Geotechnical Engineering Formulas

Unit Weight of Soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil. And is denoted by γ. Unit Weight of Soil is usually measured using the Kilonewton per Cubic Meter for Specific Weight. Note that the value of Unit Weight of Soil is always positive. Typically, the value of Unit Weight of Soil is greater than 0.
