COMPACTION CRITERIA FOR EASTERN COAL WASTE EMBANKMENTS

The paper presents the results of a full-scale experiment wherein four embankments were constructed to evaluate compaction equipment performance, optimum life thickness, and number of passes required for specified degree of compaction for coal refuse. The coal refuse was mining and preparation waste at Moundsville, West Virginia. It was found that suitable equipment are vibratory smooth drum and sheepsfoot rollers with an applied force not less than 46,000 lb and compaction lifts not greater than 1 ft thickness.
