NEW METHOD FOR LABORATORY SOIL COMPACTION BY VIBRATION

A LABORATORY COMPACTION METHOD BASED ON THE USE OF A VIBRATING TAMPER HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AT THE CONCRETE AND SOIL LABORATORY OF AB VIBRO-VERKEN, SOLNA, SWEDEN. THE WEIGHT AND VIBRATION DATA OF THE TAMPER HAS BEEN SELECTED TO OBTAIN WITH COHESIONLESS SOILS THE SAME MAXIMUM DENSITY AS OBTAINED WITH THE MODIFIED AASHO METHOD. FOR COHESIVE SOIL THE VIBRATION METHOD HAS GIVEN SOMEWHAT LOWER VALUES, COMPARED WITH THE MODIFIED AASHO METHOD. THE VIBRATION METHOD IS QUICKER THAN THE MODIFIED AASHO TEST. THE VIBRATING TAMPER CAN ALSO BE USED TO COMPACT TEST CYLINDERS OF SOIL-CEMENT, ASPHALTIC CONCRETE, ETC. /AUTHOR/
