Calculate dry unit weight using this equation. This is also the specific weight (also known as the bulk density) it is the weight per unit volume of a material, in this application soil.

In the equation

  • Gs is the specific gravity of soil solids
  • γw is the unit weight of water and
  • e is the void ratio
