The Moist Unit Weight calculator computes the saturated unit weight based on the unit weight of water, moisture content, specific gravity of solid and the void ratio.

INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:

( $gamma_w$ ) Unit Weight of Water
(w) Moisture Content
(GS) Specific Gravity of Solid
(e) Void Ratio

Moist Unit Weight ( $gamma$ ): The calculator returns the Moist Unit Weight

The Math / Science

The formula for Moist Unit Weight is:

$gamma = ((1+omega)G_s gamma_w)/(1+e)$

where:

$gamma$ = moist unit weight of the material
$gamma _w$ = unit weight of water
w = moisture content of the material
G_s = specific gravity of the solid
e = void ratio
