Maximum Dry Density given Percent Compaction of Soil in Sand Cone Method Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Dry Density = (Dry Density from Sand Cone Test)*100/Percent Compaction
γ_dmax = (ρ_dsc)*100/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 from Sand Cone Test - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Dry Density from Sand Cone Test refers to the density of soil or aggregate after removing the moisture content through sand cone test.
Percent Compaction - Percent Compaction is the degree to which soil are compacted relative to their maximum achievable density. It is a measure of how much the soil has been compacted compared to its maximum density.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dry Density from Sand Cone Test: 4.284 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 4.284 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Percent Compaction: 90 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_dmax = (ρ_dsc)*100/C --> (4.284)*100/90

Evaluating ... ...

γ_dmax = 4.76

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.76 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.76 Kilogram per Cubic Meter <-- Maximum Dry Density
