Page 19: Compaction Tips
5. Compaction Tips 5.1 Soil Drop Test: Soil preparedness refers to the “wetness” of the dirt or soil. Soil needs to be 50% dry and 50% wet, before starting compaction. A simple “hand test” can determine this. Pick up a handful of soil with your hand and squeeze the dirt. Observe whether the soil is powdery or if it breaks apart when dropped. -
Page 20: Compaction Terms
5.3 Compaction Terms 5.3.1 Cohesive soils: Clays and mixes have a particular particle size of less than .003” or .002” and are typically classified as cohesive soils. This type of soil is primarily used for retaining pond beds and mound fills. These soils are dense due to the strongly bound molecular attraction. - Page 21 5.3.4 Static force: Found in the deadweight of machines, static force applies pressure downward on soil surfaces. As a result, soil particles compress in the topsoil layer. 5.3.5 Vibratory force: This force is engine-driven, creating a downward force, in addition to the machine's static weight.
