- Relative density is an indicator of compaction level of any granular or cohesionless soil. Sand is preferred for filling work due to its less affinity towards pore moisture content as compared to cohesive soils. It is very difficult to obtain homogeneous sands practically during various earth work operations or other construction practices, resulting in heterogeneous properties in used samples collected from various sources. There are many studies on numerous sand properties but there aren’t many studies relating relative density and fineness modulus of sand. The aim of this research is to carry out an experimental study regarding the relation between the density and fineness modulus of sand and to establish empirical relation between them.
