Simple Geotechnics Calculations spreadsheet
Purpose of calculation: ln its natural condition a soil sample has a mass of 2290g and a volume of 1.15 x i0'3m? After
being completely dried in an oven the mass ofthe sample is 2035g. Determine the hulk density, unit weight, water
content, void ratio, porosity, degree of saturation and air content.
Calculation Reference: Craig Soil Mechanics. RF. Craig
Calculation Validation; Check against a worked example in the reference above.
