Review of soil compaction: History and recent developments
Transportation Geotechnics, 2018Compaction of soils is a major construction activity in civil engineering, and particularly in the transport industry. This paper presents a brief historical account of soil compaction development with special emphasis on transport geotechnics. Proctor’s

The contribution of tyre evolution to the reduction of soil compaction risks
Soil & Tillage Research, 2019The use of today’s heavy machinery in agriculture poses a great risk to soil in the form of compaction. Subsoil compaction has been found to persist for decades, thus reducing the risk is extremely important.

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 ...

Transportation Geotechnics, 2018
In the typical conventional fill compaction, the dry density, ρd, and the water content, w, are controlled in relation to reference values, (ρd)max and wopt, determined by standard laboratory compaction tests using a representative sample at a certain ...

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,

Mapping soil compaction – A review
Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health, 2018Land degradation due to soil compaction is a widespread phenomenon. Delineating maps of topsoil compaction is a challenging task due to its dynamic nature, which is highly variable in time and space.

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 ...

Numerical modeling of soil compaction in a sugarcane crop using the finite element method
Soil & Tillage Research, 2018Numerical simulation allows the modeling of soil compaction by showing the changes in the soil's initial stress state due to external forces, such as vehicle traffic.

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.
