Maximum Dry Density given Relative Compaction Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Maximum Dry Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - 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.
Dry Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - 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.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dry Density: 10 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 10 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Relative Compaction: 2.5 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_dmax = ρ_d/R_c --> 10/2.5

Evaluating ... ...

γ_dmax = 4

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4 Kilogram per Cubic Meter <-- Maximum Dry Density
