The tapped density is a limiting density attained after âtapping down,â usually in a device that lifts and drops a volumetric measuring cylinder containing the powder a fixed distance.
Density index (or relative density) is the measure of compaction of non-cohesive soils naturally com-. pacted as a result of geological processes. It also is used for compaction control of non-cohesive soils built in. hydraulic embankments.
