PERCENTAGE REFUSAL DENSITY (PRD) BS 598 – 104
GPS-625
Percentage Refusal Density (PRD) is defined as the ratio of the initial
dried bulk density of the sample to the final density (refusal density)
expressed as a percentage.
The sample bulk density is determined by weighing in air and water.
It is then heated in a split mould and compacted to refusal using a
vibrating hammer. The final density is obtained by weighing in air and water.
