Compaction Equipments And Methods Of Compaction Of Soil In The Field

We make the soil base stable and strong Before constructing any structure on it. It is done by increasing soil’s density by decreasing the volume of air voids in it and the process of doing so is called Compaction. Compaction is measured using Dry Density or Dry Unit weight of Soil. Higher th

Factors Affecting Compaction Of Soil

We make the soil base stable and strong Before constructing any structure on it. And the process of doing so is called Compaction. Compaction is done by increasing soil’s density by decreasing the volume of air voids in it. It is done using heavy machinery and equipments.

Bulking Of Sand

Before constructing any structure on the soil, we make the base stable and strong so that it does not settle in large amounts with time. This process of making the soil base solid before the construction of structure is called Compaction. Compaction is usually done with heavy machinery and

Modified Proctor Test

Before constructing any structure on the soil, we make the base stable and strong so that it does not settle in large amounts with time. This process of making the soil base solid before the construction of structure is called compaction. In the process of compaction mechanical energy is ap

Standard Proctor Test

Imagine we want to build a house. When we begin laying the foundation, it's natural for the soil below to undergo some initial settlement. However, it is essential that this settlement remains within acceptable limits and doesn't lead to future problems. That's why, before co

Compaction Of Soil

Soil itself is used as a construction material while constructing engineering structures such as roads, earth dams, landfills etc. It is also used in the foundation of buildings. But as we know soil is made up of small particles and they have some amount of empty space between them which

Flow Net Deflection At The Junction Of Two Soil Masses

A soil mass is composed of small solid particles which we call the soil grains. These soil grains when depositing in a soil mass arranges themselves in a way that some amount of empty space is enclosed between them. We call these spaces voids. Water can flow though these voids. The proper

Flow Net In Anisotropic Soil

A soil mass is composed of small solid particles which we call the soil grains. These soil grains when depositing in a soil mass arranges themselves in a way that some amount of empty space is enclosed between them. We call these spaces voids. Water can flow though these voids. The proper

Shape Of Phreatic Line In Earth Dam Without Filter

A dam is a barrier that restricts the flow of water and can be used to collect the water and this water may be utilized for many purposes. A Dam can be constructed using different kinds of materials. In earth dams the construction material is rocks and soil. The water that the dam holds f

Earth Dam - Introduction, Types And Calculation Of Seepage Through It

A dam is a barrier that restricts the flow of water and can be used to collect the water. This water may be utilized for many purposes such as irrigation, human consumption, industrial use and hydro power generation. Dams can be created using different materials such as bricks, concrete, timber
