About this document
Soil Compaction Techniques and Effects by Nabin Yadav is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses soil compaction for highway engineers. It defines compaction as pressing soil particles close together to increase density and remove air. Compaction objectives are listed as increasing shear strength, reducing compressibility, reducing hydraulic conductivity, and increasing slope stability. Standard compaction tests involve applying a standard compactive effort to soil in a laboratory to determine maximum dry density and optimum moisture content. Factors that affect compaction includ
