Earthworks and soil compaction
1995Earthworks or earth structures are constructed where it is required to alter the existing topography. They comprise excavation and filling and are most commonly formed for highway works such as cuttings and embankments but they may also consist of site levelling such as for industrial or housing estates and excavation and back filling of quarries ...

Behaviour of compacted soil in tension
International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1974An analysis of cracking of clay cores of earth dams requires an understanding of behavior of soils in tension. A study of a typical core material is performed to investigate the various factors influencing the tensile strength and stress-strain relationships in tension.

Soils play a central role in climate mitigation. They are both as a carbon sink and a source of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). This report outlines the mitigation potential for GHG emissions of climate friendly soil management options at global, EU and German level. It also discusses different types of climate-friendly soil management measures and key

Soil Amendments for Mitigation of Compacted Soils
Low Impact Development 2010, 2010Traffic during construction has been shown to compact soils resulting in reduced porosity and infiltration rates and increased runoff. In agricultural settings soil amendments have been found to counter-act compaction effects. To evaluate the mitigation potential of two soil amendments (compost and fly ash) and determine potential water quality impacts,

Compaction Properties of Agricultural Soils
2007The compaction of field soils due to repeated rolling of agricultural vehicles is one of the main reasons for the agricultural soil degradation. A good understanding of the compaction properties of these soils is essential for an optimum organisation of agricultural activities, and therefore for environmental protection in terms of nitrate migrations ...

Vibroflotation Compaction of Cohesionless Soils
Journal of the Geotechnical Engineering Division, 1977Vibroflotation uses a horizontally vibrating probe to densify in-situ cohesionless soils with simultaneous vibration and saturation. The method is described in general terms and each factor affecting the density achieved is analyzed in detail. An example test program is presented which was used to investigate the influence of in-situ soil type ...

Soil compaction and susceptibility to compaction in the agriculturally used soils
Pedosphere Research, 2023openaire +1 more source
Chapter 7 provides a comprehensive understanding of soil compaction, which is one of the most common ground improvement techniques. It details laboratory compaction procedures, including standard and modified tests used to determine soil compaction characteristics.

Soil compaction is widely applied in geotechnical engineering practice. It is used to maximise the dry density of soils to reduce subsequent settlement under working loads or to reduce the permeability of soils. The durability and stability of structures are highly related to the appropriate compaction achievement.

Influence of Soil Tillage on Soil Compaction
2009Soil compaction is an important process of soil degradation affecting the crop-producing role of soil, such as its vulnerability to soil erosion, soil water and nutrient availability, natural biological activity of soil, etc. Soil compaction is manifested by total deterioration of the regime of the physiological profile of soil.
