Earth filling & compaction are the important aspects in the construction of
structural building. The process of compaction after the filling of earth to several layers
has three beneficial.
Reduces its compressibility Reduces its permeability Increases its strengthTheory of earth filling & compaction
Soil can be considered in earth filling to consist of three components or phases.
Solid soil particles Liquid usually water Gas usually air If no gas is present the soil is said to be saturated and if it contains no liquid
it is Dry soil particles are mechanically made to pack more closely through a
reduction in the air voids. The amount of compaction hence can be observed
depends on the following
conditions.
Compactive effort applied Pre-existing density Moisture content Percentage of air voids in soil Percentage of air voids in soilWhen the moisture content is low the soil is stiff and difficult to compress
and consequently a low density and high air voids are achieved.
Earth Filling
For this purpose the excavated soil (earth) was used. Earth was filled about 150mm thick layers in each & having 3 or 4 layers.
Compaction
The compaction was done by using two types of machines. They are,
Rammer machine Plate compactor machineIn the case the most effective consolidation of fill material was obtained by
compacting of 150-300mm layers and that compacted by using the rammer machine. In the end of the filing, the plate compacter is used for even soil surface.
Good articles, Have you heard of LFDS (Le_Meridian Funding Service, Email: lfdsloans@outlook.com --WhatsApp Contact:+1-9893943740--lfdsloans@lemeridianfds.com) is as USA/UK funding service they grant me loan of $95,000.00 to launch my business and I have been paying them annually for two years now and I still have 2 years left although I enjoy working with them because they are genuine Loan lender who can give you any kind of loan.
