WHAT IS COMPACTION?
![Page 3: Compaction of soil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062302/5871a2491a28ab044e8b71e5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
DEFINATION OF COMPACTION
The densification of soil by the application of mechanical energy is known as compaction

COMPACTION REQUIREMENTS
CR = Yd/(Yd)max
Yd = dry density achieved in the field(Yd)max = Laboratory maximum dry density
Sl. no. Type of work Minimum relative compaction
1. Highly expansive clay 85%
2. Top 500mm of embankment below sub grade level and shoulders
100%
3. Other portion of embankment 95%

CONCLUSION
Ultimately compaction is depending on the void ratio of soil. Compaction is a factor of practical importance is the increase of soil strength and stability. Now a day in urban area land is one of the most common problems. In such case if soil’s engineering property is not up to the requirement then there is no way without abandon that project. So in that case soil compaction can be applied as a one of the most economic ground improvement technique.
