WATER JETS FOR THE LOOSENING AND COMPACTION OF SOILS /IN GERMAN/
THE USE AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE WATER JET ARE DESCRIBED, AND DETAILS ARE GIVEN OF MECHANICAL AND ECONOMICAL MAGNITUDES. IT CAN BE USED FOR LOOSENING, IN PARTICULAR FOR SLOPE CLEARING, OPENING UP OF QUARRIES, AND REMOVAL OF WEATHERED ROCK. USE FOR COMPACTION OF FRAGMENTED ROCK-FILLED DAMS IS CONDITIONAL ON (THICKNESS) OF THE LAYER AND PARTICLE STRUCTURE OF THE MATERIAL. FOR CONSTRUCTION LAYERS 10-40M. HIGH, SETTLEMENT CAN BE UP TO 10 TIMES HIGHER THAN FOR NORMAL MECHANICAL COMPACTION AND THUS HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION DURING CONSTRUCTION AND CORRESPONDING COMPACTION. A NUMBER OF ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT PARAMETERS HAS BEEN TABULATED FOR THE TWO AREAS OF APPLICATION. /FG/RRL/
