Types of Rollers Depending upon the project requirement and soil to be compacted, different types of rollers are used for compaction work. The various types of rollers which
Dynamic Compaction of Soil The method can be used to improve all types of non-cohesive soils, mixed soil or those with limited amounts of cohesive material, as well
There are many factors which influence the degree of compaction in the field. Some are compactor dependent and some depend on the soil being compacted. The factors which
Compaction should not be confused with consolidation. At the end of the consolidation and/or compaction process, a closer packing of soil grains results, which leads to increased shear
Objective To determine moisture content and dry density relationship using heavy compaction or modified compaction method as per IS-2720-Part-8. Apparatus • Metal mould (volume = 1000 cm3) •
The embankments are constructed with locally available soils, provided it fulfils the specified requirements. Procedure of compaction to be adopted will depend on the type of soil being
Factors Affecting Field Compaction of Soil There are many factors which influence the degree of compaction in the field. Some are compactor dependent and some depend on the
Objective For determination of the relation between the water content and the dry density of soils using light compaction. Reference Standard IS: 2720(Part 7)-1980- Methods of test for
