What is Void Ratio?

The Void Ratio is a measure used in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering to quantify the relative amount of void space (air or water) within a soil or aggregate sample compared to the solid particles. It is an important parameter for understanding the properties and behavior of soils, especially their compressibility, permeability, and shear strength. The void ratio is defined as the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of solid particles in a soil sample.

How to Calculate Relative Compaction given Void Ratio?

Relative Compaction given Void Ratio calculator uses Relative Compaction = (1+Minimum Void Ratio)/(1+Void Ratio) to calculate the Relative Compaction, The Relative Compaction given Void Ratio formula is defined as a measure that compares the actual void ratio (porosity) of a compacted soil sample to the void ratio it would have at its maximum achievable density under ideal conditions. Relative Compaction is denoted by R_c symbol.

How to calculate Relative Compaction given Void Ratio using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Relative Compaction given Void Ratio, enter Minimum Void Ratio (e_min) & Void Ratio (e) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Relative Compaction given Void Ratio calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.590909 = (1+4.5)/(1+1.2).

FAQ

What is Relative Compaction given Void Ratio?

The Relative Compaction given Void Ratio formula is defined as a measure that compares the actual void ratio (porosity) of a compacted soil sample to the void ratio it would have at its maximum achievable density under ideal conditions and is represented as R_c = (1+e_min)/(1+e) or Relative Compaction = (1+Minimum Void Ratio)/(1+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 & Void Ratio is the ratio of the volume of voids (pores or spaces) to the volume of solids in a soil or rock mass.

How to calculate Relative Compaction given Void Ratio?

The Relative Compaction given Void Ratio formula is defined as a measure that compares the actual void ratio (porosity) of a compacted soil sample to the void ratio it would have at its maximum achievable density under ideal conditions is calculated using Relative Compaction = (1+Minimum Void Ratio)/(1+Void Ratio). To calculate Relative Compaction given Void Ratio, you need Minimum Void Ratio (e_min) & Void Ratio (e). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Minimum Void Ratio & Void Ratio and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
