Abstract:Compaction of the soil during construction of dams of earth materials (earth and earth--rock dams)is one of the most important technological operations. The density of the soil in the structure is a generalized characteristic of other important physical and mechanical properties of the material and structure as a whole.
1.Effect of Density on the Properties of Earth Materials Reduction in Compressibility. Many soils are able to change their volume to a considerable extent when a load is applied to them, for ex… Show more
