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
