What is compaction?
A simple ground improvement technique, where the soil is densified through external compactive effort.
+ water =
Compactive effort

Advantages of Compaction 1.Increases shear strength2.Reduces compressibility3.Reduces permeability4.Reduces liquefaction potential5.Controls swelling and shrinking6.Prolongs durability
Strategies for compaction process are•In the case of constructed fills, specify placement conditions (water content, density,depth of layers, etc.)•Select appropriate equipment (roller compactor, tamping) and method of operation (number of passes, patterns of tamping,etc.).•Set up adequate control procedures (type and number of tests, statistical evaluation,etc.).
