Dry Density in Compaction of Soil Formulas

Dry Density is a measure of the mass of solids per unit volume of soil, excluding the pore spaces filled with water or air. It is expressed in terms of mass per unit volume. And is denoted by ρ_d. Dry Density is usually measured using the Kilogram per Cubic Meter for Density. Note that the value of Dry Density is always positive.
