Minimum Dry Density given Density Compaction Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Minimum Dry Density = Density Compaction Ratio*Maximum Dry Density
γ_dmin = DCR*γ_dmax
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Minimum Dry Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Minimum Dry Density is the lowest density achieved by compacting a soil sample using standardized methods. This is measured in the laboratory or in the field during construction projects.
Density Compaction Ratio - Density Compaction Ratio is the ratio of minimum dry density to maximum dry density.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Density Compaction Ratio: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Maximum Dry Density: 4.76 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 4.76 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_dmin = DCR*γ_dmax --> 0.8*4.76

Evaluating ... ...

γ_dmin = 3.808

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.808 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.808 Kilogram per Cubic Meter <-- Minimum Dry Density
