I agree that proper evaluation requires the determination of TAFD; however, this can be correlated for ease of testing to the more common direct comparison using common density methods and the dry density of the material. In either case, you will need to know the moisture content of the material (which, again, for cementitious materials can be a bit tricky).
All voids parameters need to be determined. The key is to reduce the voids in the mix to as low a point as practicable for the compaction.
