Relative Compaction given Void Ratio 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.
Minimum Void Ratio
Minimum Void Ratio is the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of solids in a soil mass. It is the smallest ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of solids in a soil sample.
Symbol: emin
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Void Ratio
Void Ratio is the ratio of the volume of voids (pores or spaces) to the volume of solids in a soil or rock mass.
Symbol: e
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
