A transfer function generation method is applied in the simplest form to find a relationship between the
grading curve and the dry density. The method is based on the grading entropy concept and uses laboratory emax
test data measured on some “optimal” grading curves. The goodness of results is tested using some additional
laboratory emax test data of some “non-optimal” soils mixtures. As a by-product of the research, some comments
are made on the “densest packing problem”.
