The density Index (Id) for warse grained soils
ID = $\frac{emax-e}{emax-emin}$
Id=$\frac{1/\gamma dmin-1/\gamma d}{1/\gamma dmin-1/\gamma dmax }$
Where,
emax= maximum void ratio (loosest state)
emin=minimum void ratio (denset state)
e= Natural void ratio of soil
$\gamma dmax$= maximum Dry density
$\gamma dmin$=minimum Dry density
$\gamma d$=Dry Density in natural state
The density Index varies from 0 to 100%
