In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Introduction to the Compaction of Soils 2. Definition of Compaction 3. Principle 4. Effect 5. Factors 6. Method. Introduction to the Compaction of Soils: Soil is used as a construction material for constructing embankments and subgrades. Embankments are constructed to raise the ground level above the existing level up to the formation [...]
Compaction test is conducted in the laboratory to determine the relation between the dry density and the water content of the given soil compacted with standard compaction energy and to determine the OMC corresponding to the MDD. The OMC obtained from the laboratory compaction test will help in deciding the amount of water to be used for compaction in the [...]
