Relative Density of Cohesionless Soil given Unit Weight of Soil

Go Relative Density in Soil Mechanics = ((1/Minimum Unit Weight)-(1/Dry Unit Weight))/((1/Minimum Unit Weight)-(1/Maximum Unit Weight))

Relative Density of Cohesionless Soil given Void Ratio

Go Relative Density in Soil Mechanics = ((Maximum Void Ratio-Natural Void Ratio)/(Maximum Void Ratio-Minimum Void Ratio))

Maximum Void Ratio of Soil given Relative Density

Go Maximum Void Ratio = (Natural Void Ratio-(Relative Density*Minimum Void Ratio))/(1-Relative Density)

Minimum Void Ratio of Soil given Relative Density

Go Minimum Void Ratio = (Maximum Void Ratio-((Maximum Void Ratio-Natural Void Ratio)/Relative Density))

Specific Gravity of Soil given Degree of Saturation Formula

Specific Gravity of Soil = ((Degree of Saturation*Void Ratio of Soil)/Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer)
