relative density

n
(Units) the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a standard substance under specified conditions. For liquids and solids the standard is usually water at 4°C or some other specified temperature. For gases the standard is often air or hydrogen at the same temperature and pressure as the substance. Symbol: d See also specific gravity, vapour density

When the relative density of the main components of the AFSs is observed, it is verified that the increase of the relative density of shade trees and fruit trees and the reduction of the relative density of cacao trees are associated with the greater capacity of carbon stock (Figure 2B).

In Condition A where tests were performed using varied sand density (relative density) (1523 (0%), 1562 (50%), and 1592 (88%) kg/[m.sup.3]), it is found that the slope with highest density has higher safety factor, but leads to faster slope failure due to faster development of the pore pressure ratio within the slope.
