Relative density

 

Gibbs & Holtz, 1957

correlation valid for any effective pressure

Dr is underestimated for gravels and over estimated for silts

 

Skempton, 1986

process valid for Normally consolidated silts, sands, and fine to coarse sands at any effective pressure

Dr is underestimated for gravels and over estimated for silts

 

Schultze & Menzenbach (1961)

for Normally consolidated fine and gravelly sand

method valid for any effective pressure in Normally consolidated deposits

Dr is underestimated for gravels and over estimated for silts.
