Density Compaction Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Density Compaction Ratio = Dry Density Minimum/Dry Density Maximum
DCR = γ_dmin/γ_dmax
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Density Compaction Ratio - Density Compaction Ratio is the ratio of minimum dry density to maximum dry density.
Dry Density Minimum - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Dry Density Minimum of soil is defined as the ratio of Mass of solids to the total volume of the soil.
Dry Density Maximum - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Dry Density Maximum of soil is the ratio of the mass of dry soil to its volume.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dry Density Minimum: 15.5 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 15.5 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Dry Density Maximum: 4.76 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 4.76 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

DCR = γ_dmin/γ_dmax --> 15.5/4.76

Evaluating ... ...

DCR = 3.2563025210084

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.2563025210084 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.2563025210084 ≈ 3.256303 <-- Density Compaction Ratio

What is Density?

Density is a measure of mass per volume. The average density of an object equals its total mass divided by its total volume. An object made from a comparatively dense material (such as iron) will have less volume than an object of equal mass made from some less dense substance.

How to Calculate Density Compaction?

Density Compaction calculator uses Density Compaction Ratio = Dry Density Minimum/Dry Density Maximum to calculate the Density Compaction Ratio, The Density Compaction is defined as a process that brings about an increase in soil density or unit weight, accompanied by a decrease in air volume. The degree of compaction is measured by dry unit weight and depends on the water content and compactive effort. Density Compaction Ratio is denoted by DCR symbol.

How to calculate Density Compaction using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Density Compaction, enter Dry Density Minimum (γ_dmin) & Dry Density Maximum (γ_dmax) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Density Compaction calculation can be explained with given input values -> 3.1 = 15.5/4.76.

FAQ

What is Density Compaction?

The Density Compaction is defined as a process that brings about an increase in soil density or unit weight, accompanied by a decrease in air volume. The degree of compaction is measured by dry unit weight and depends on the water content and compactive effort and is represented as DCR = γ_dmin/γ_dmax or Density Compaction Ratio = Dry Density Minimum/Dry Density Maximum. Dry Density Minimum of soil is defined as the ratio of Mass of solids to the total volume of the soil & Dry Density Maximum of soil is the ratio of the mass of dry soil to its volume.

How to calculate Density Compaction?

The Density Compaction is defined as a process that brings about an increase in soil density or unit weight, accompanied by a decrease in air volume. The degree of compaction is measured by dry unit weight and depends on the water content and compactive effort is calculated using Density Compaction Ratio = Dry Density Minimum/Dry Density Maximum. To calculate Density Compaction, you need Dry Density Minimum (γ_dmin) & Dry Density Maximum (γ_dmax). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Dry Density Minimum & Dry Density Maximum and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Density Compaction Ratio?

In this formula, Density Compaction Ratio uses Dry Density Minimum & Dry Density Maximum. We can use 1 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Density Compaction Ratio = Relative Compaction*(1-Relative Density)/(1-(Relative Compaction*Relative Density))
