There is a perfectly uniform soil that is an assemblage of spheres of equal diameter. A 1m thick layer of this soil is packed so that it is as loose as possible (void ratio, e_max ~= 0.9), and then it was vibrated until it was as dense as possible (void ratio, e_min ~= 0.35). What would the height be after it was consolidated into this dense packing? Detailed explanation please
