Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering projects such as roads, earthen dams, embankments, and trench backfills require soil compacted at higher dry unit weight. In a majority of geotechnical projects, compaction of soils is involved with increasing strength and decreasing compressibility and permeability. The Proctor compaction test forms one of the most popular and important tests in geotechnical engineering practice. The moisture content-dry unit weight relationship of the soil obtained from the standard Proctor test forms the basis for specification and field compaction control. Standard Proctor test, also known as the dynamic compaction test requires considerable time and effort and has few imperfections. This study examined the possibility of determining the equivalent static pressure to the standard Proctor test to obtain the optimum moisture content, OMC, and maximum dry unit weight, of fine-grained soils. For this, a static compaction pressure test was devised in the Proctor mold itself to statically compact the soil at different water contents. The equivalent static pressure so determined will simplify the compaction procedure and will also result in considerable saving of time, money, and effort, especially so when dealing with highway and earth embankment projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete compaction curve for fine-grained soil and its characteristics are discussed. The formulation of the relationship to model the curve is introduced. The equation is versatile in its ability to quantify the shape, size and position of compaction curves. It is capable of describing the compaction curve from the dry to very wet condition and can be used to predict a family of compaction curves for a given soil for different input of compaction energies. All parameters in the equation have specific physical definitions. Simple procedures to obtain all parameters directly from a standard compaction curve are developed and described in detail. The examples show that the proposed equation is good at representing the soil compaction curve and demonstrates excellent agreement between laboratory test data and the predicted curves. The family of curves predicted by the equation would improve the practice of the one-point method in the field.

Book excerpt: Compaction curves from 16 coarse- and 9 fine-grained soils, which cover all soil types classified by the Unified Soil Classification System are analyzed to develop the Modified Ohio's curves. For all soils, the relationships between water content and degree of saturation on both the dry and the wet sides of optimum are represented by power functions. Their compaction curves under standard Proctor energy follow the Ohio's curves. Optimum degree of saturation, ODS, of coarse-grained soils is lower than that of fine-grained soils. However, for a given soil, the ODS is practically the same for different compaction energies, E. Even though compaction characteristics (optimum water content, OWC, and maximum dry unit weight, ?d max) are different for different soils, their relationship between normalized OWC/OWCst and E is practically the same, where OWCst is the OWC at standard Proctor energy. Based on this finding, the Modified Ohio's curves are introduced under compaction energy levels of the half standard, half modified, and modified Proctor energies. The verification of the Modified Ohio's curve is also illustrated in this paper. These curves are useful in rapid estimation of laboratory compaction curves from a single set data of dry unit weight and water content.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compaction as a practical means of achieving the desired strength, compressibility, and permeability characteristics of fine-grained soils has been appreciated since the time early earth structures were built. In this paper, simple phenomenological relationships are proposed for estimating compaction characteristics, based on the analysis of compaction curves of fine-grained soils for different compactive efforts. A simple stepwise procedure is presented for adoption, the validity of which has been demonstrated from laboratory test data for this purpose.
