Relative Compaction given Density Formula Elements

Variables
Relative Compaction
Relative Compaction is the ratio of the density of a compacted soil or aggregate material to its maximum achievable density under specific conditions.
Symbol: Rc
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Dry Density
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.
Symbol: ρd
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 Relative Compaction given Density?

Relative Compaction given Density evaluator uses Relative Compaction = Dry Density/Maximum Dry Density to evaluate the Relative Compaction, The Relative Compaction given Density formula is defined as the relationship between the achieved density of a compacted soil or material and a reference density, often the maximum dry density (Proctor density) obtained from a standard compaction test (such as Modified Proctor or Standard Proctor test). Relative Compaction is denoted by Rc symbol.
