BIBLIOGRAPHY ON DENSIFICATION OF SOILS BY EXPLOSIVE VIBRATIONS

A bibliography is presented which provides references to a glossary of terms and definitions, and to various aspects such as blasting to settle swamp fills, ground vibrations due to blasting and its effect on structures, the importance and use of relative density in soil mechanics, compaction of loose sands by vibroflotation, and laboratory methods of compacting granular soils. The compaction of dam foundation, tower foundation, and nuclear methods for measuring soil density are covered, as well as topics such as safety requirements, and the density and relative density determination of sands.
