dynamic compaction of soil,#Foundation #Engineering #compaction
The purpose of dynamic compaction of soil, also known as impact compaction or dynamic consolidation, is to reinforce the soil, enhance the load-bearing capacity, and improve the stability of the foundation. By applying repeated impact loads, the vibrations and forces are transmitted into the ground, causing the rearrangement and densification of soil particles, reducing soil voids, and increasing soil density and strength. This process improves the stability of the foundation, reduces the risk of settlement and subsidence, and provides adequate support for buildings or infrastructure. Dynamic compaction is commonly used in construction projects to address loose or soft soils, fill areas, or areas that require increased foundation bearing capacity, ensuring the safety and stability of structures.
