CIVL354-notes-1- Soil compaction.ppt - EMU
1 soil COMPACTION1 soil CompactionSoil compaction is defined as the method of mechanically increasing the density of construction, this is a significant part of the building performed improperly, settlement of the soil could occur and result in unnecessary maintenance costs yor structure all types of building sites and construction projects utilize mechanical compaction techniques. 2 Results of Poor Compaction3 compaction is a process of increasing soil density and removing air, usually by mechanical meansSOIL compaction mechanical means. 5By reducing the air voids, more soil can be added to the block. When moisture is added to the block (water content, wc, is increasing) ,,g) the soil particles will slip more on each other causing more reduction in the total volume, which will result in adding more soil and, hence the dry density will increase6hence, the dry density will increase, accordingly.
The Standard Proctor Test is a laboratory test used to determine the optimum water for a given compaction energy for a given soilgiven compaction energy, for a given soil.
