Multiple Compaction Tests on Laterite

Article Preview

Abstract:

Laterite has high void ratio, low density, high moisture content, high plasticity, but it does not match with their physical nature, which has the relatively high strength and low compressibility. In order to improve the strength of laterite and increase its compactness, we usually use the method of dynamic compaction in some large engineering projects. Its easy to find that soil compaction degree increased with the moisture content When the content of moisture is low, but soil compaction decreased after reaching the highest. Multiple compaction can effectively improve the maximum dry density and reduce optimum moisture content, but after compaction number is too much that optimum moisture content dont increase obviously.
