Density Compaction Formula Elements

Variables
Density Compaction Ratio
Density Compaction Ratio is the ratio of minimum dry density to maximum dry density.
Symbol: DCR
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Minimum Dry Density
Minimum Dry Density is the lowest density achieved by compacting a soil sample using standardized methods. This is measured in the laboratory or in the field during construction projects.
Symbol: γdmin
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Maximum Dry Density
Maximum Dry Density is the highest density that a soil sample can achieve when compacted at its optimum moisture content under standard or modified effort.
Symbol: γdmax
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Density Compaction?

Density Compaction evaluator uses Density Compaction Ratio = Minimum Dry Density/Maximum Dry Density to evaluate the Density Compaction Ratio, The Density Compaction formula is defined as a process that brings 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.
