Relative Compaction given Density Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Relative Compaction = Dry Density/Dry Density Maximum
R_c = ρ_d/γ_dmax
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Relative Compaction - Relative Compaction is the ratio of dry density to max dry density.
Dry Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Dry Density is the ratio of mass of dry soil to its volume.
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: 10 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 10 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

R_c = ρ_d/γ_dmax --> 10/4.76

Evaluating ... ...

R_c = 2.10084033613445

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.10084033613445 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.10084033613445 ≈ 2.10084 <-- Relative Compaction

What is Dry Density?

Dry density of soil is defined as the ratio of Mass of solids to the total volume of the soil. To obtain relationship between the moisture content and dry density, multiply the numerator and denominator of expression of dry density with “M” which is mass of soil sample.

How to Calculate Relative Compaction given Density?

Relative Compaction given Density calculator uses Relative Compaction = Dry Density/Dry Density Maximum to calculate the Relative Compaction, The Relative Compaction given Density is defined as the ratio of in-place wet density to test the maximum wet density of the same soil or aggregate. In-place wet density is determined in the field using sand volume cone, volumetric, or other field soil density apparatus. Relative Compaction is denoted by R_c symbol.

How to calculate Relative Compaction given Density using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Relative Compaction given Density, enter Dry Density (ρ_d) & Dry Density Maximum (γ_dmax) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Relative Compaction given Density calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2 = 10/4.76.

FAQ

What is Relative Compaction given Density?

The Relative Compaction given Density is defined as the ratio of in-place wet density to test the maximum wet density of the same soil or aggregate. In-place wet density is determined in the field using sand volume cone, volumetric, or other field soil density apparatus and is represented as R_c = ρ_d/γ_dmax or Relative Compaction = Dry Density/Dry Density Maximum. Dry Density is the ratio of mass of dry soil to its volume & Dry Density Maximum of soil is the ratio of the mass of dry soil to its volume.

How to calculate Relative Compaction given Density?

The Relative Compaction given Density is defined as the ratio of in-place wet density to test the maximum wet density of the same soil or aggregate. In-place wet density is determined in the field using sand volume cone, volumetric, or other field soil density apparatus is calculated using Relative Compaction = Dry Density/Dry Density Maximum. To calculate Relative Compaction given Density, you need Dry Density (ρ_d) & Dry Density Maximum (γ_dmax). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Dry Density & 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 Relative Compaction?

In this formula, Relative Compaction uses Dry Density & Dry Density Maximum. We can use 2 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Relative Compaction = (1+Minimum Void Ratio)/(1+Void Ratio)
Relative Compaction = Density Compaction Ratio/(1-Relative Density*(1-Density Compaction))
