Using the appropriate standards and codes as a guide the differences in soil types are described and basic values are given for the choice of compaction equipment. Compaction tests are necessary because compaction is influenced by the properties of the sub-soil and its deformation behaviour and also by the compaction plant and compaction technique used. Rollers are designated according to the compaction method (static or vibrating rollers) the type of forward movement (self propelled or towed rollers), the shape of roller (smooth-, sheeps foot-, stub-foot, grid-, and pneumatic rubber tyred rollers) and the number of rolling units or axles (rolling trains, tandem - and three-wheeled rollers). Each type of roller is described together with the degree of compaction which it can achieve. (TRRL)
