In the article, it is proposed to take the density of soil particles as the maximum density, the determination of which does not require sophisticated equipment, is determined in the laboratory using a pycnometer, while the density of soil particles is a fairly stable value, depending only on the composition of the soil. As a result, a more advanced method has been developed for assessing the degree of compaction of sandy soils by using the density of soil particles and statistical dependencies as the maximum soil density without directly determining the maximum density and optimal soil moisture in the laboratory according to GOST 22733-2016. Based on the research of BeldorNIA, it is proposed to take the density of soil particles as the maximum density, the determination of which does not require the presence of complex equipment.
