Compaction Report

Compaction Report. By compacting soil the density of the soil increases which inherently increases the soil’s engineering properties Compaction is important as it prevents differential settlement from occurring under heavy loads Compaction is also.

Soil compaction is an economical method of soil improvement and it is often used to make ground suitable for the foundations of roads and buildings It is also used in the placing of soil fills and in the construction of earth dams to ensure suitable soil properties The compaction is normally achieved through the input of energy into the soil.

PDF fileSOIL COMPACTION Compaction is the application of mechanical energy to a soil to rearrange the particles and reduce the void ratio 31 Purpose of Compaction • The principal reason for compacting soil is to reduce subsequent settlement under working loads • Compaction increases the shear strength of the soil • Compaction reduces the voids ratio making it more difficult for.

Proctor Soil Compaction Test Procedures, Tools and

The standard proctor compaction test is used in establishing a relationship between moisture content and dry density for the soil under controlled conditions The standard proctor compaction test was first developed by RR Proctor (1933) for assessing compacted fill and from then it became a universal standard test.
