Void Ratio Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Void Ratio.
n = VV / VS *100
- Where n is the Void Ratio (%)
- VV is the total volume of voids
- VS is the total volume of the soil
How to Calculate Void Ratio?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Void Ratio.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total volume of voids.
- The total volume of voids is given as: 40.
- Next, determine the total volume of the soil.
- The total volume of the soil is provided as: 80.
- Finally, calculate the Void Ratio using the equation above:
n = VV / VS *100
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
n = 40 / 80 *100 = 50 (%)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
total volume of voids = 80
total volume of the soil = 90
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.
n = VV / VS *100 = ?
