Pseudo-Static Approach to Single Rammer Energy Calculation in Dynamic Compaction of Saturated Soft Soil Foundations

Article Preview

Abstract:

The article puts forward a single-rammer energy calculation formula based on pseudo-static method which is to be applied in the dynamic compaction trials of saturated soft soil foundations. A comparison between the formula and the dynamic compaction effective reinforcement range formula is made. Then, data from actual engineering project are applied to the formula, and the calculated results are consistent with the testing results. That is to say, the formula can facilitate the forecast of single-rammer energy in dynamic foundation compaction.
