Minimum Void Ratio given Relative Compaction in Void Ratio Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Minimum Void Ratio = (Relative Compaction*(1+Void Ratio))-1
e_min = (R_c*(1+e))-1
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

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.
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.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Relative Compaction: 2.5 --> No Conversion Required
Void Ratio: 1.2 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

e_min = (R_c*(1+e))-1 --> (2.5*(1+1.2))-1

Evaluating ... ...

e_min = 4.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.5 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.5 <-- Minimum Void Ratio

What is Relative Compaction?

Relative compaction is the ratio of in-place wet density to test the maximum wet density of the same soil or aggregate. In-place wet density is determined in the field using sand volume cone, volumetric, or other field soil density apparatus.

How to Calculate Minimum Void Ratio given Relative Compaction in Void Ratio?

Minimum Void Ratio given Relative Compaction in Void Ratio calculator uses Minimum Void Ratio = (Relative Compaction*(1+Void Ratio))-1 to calculate the Minimum Void Ratio, The Minimum Void Ratio given Relative Compaction in Void Ratio is defined as the relationship between the void ratio of a soil sample and its relative compaction state. It helps engineers understand how much the soil can be compacted before achieving its densest state. Minimum Void Ratio is denoted by e_min symbol.
