Unit Weight
Unit Weight
(OP)
Submerged unit weigh is equal to unit weight (Y) - unit weight of water
I guess Y is saturated unit weight. How can I get saturated unit weight?
When we correlate unit weights from SPT results which one we get? saturated or bulk or dry unit weights?
Thank you for your feedback.

RE: Unit Weight
moist unit weight: The unit weight of soil when moist
Saturated unit weight: The unit weight of soil when all the voids are filled with water
Bouyant unit weight: The effective unit weight of saturated soil when below the water table.
Use engineering judgement when assigning unit weights from SPT N-values. They are all based on empirical correlations. Sometimes you may need to do a parametric assessment to see whether you are tempting fate.
