Principles of Soil Compaction Techniques by Parikshit Yadav is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses soil compaction. It defines compaction as densifying soil by removing air through applying mechanical energy. Compacting soil increases its strength, bearing capacity, and stability while decreasing permeability and settlement. The key aspects covered are: 1) A compaction curve shows the relationship between dry unit weight and water content, with maximum density at the optimum moisture content. 2) Factors affecting compaction include water content, compactive effort, soil type, l
