Full textThe thesis consists of a literature review and a limited experimental investigation in a soils laboratory. The objective of the literature review is to determine what standard laboratory test methods based on vibration exist for the control of compaction, to what soil types these tests are applicable and what the factors are which affect laboratory vibratory compaction. The study revealed that extensive research has been carried out in the USA and Europe, where standard laboratory compaction tests exist for the determination of the maximum dry density of cohesionless, free-draining soil. The US methods are based on the use of a vibratory table, while the European practice is based on the use of a vibratory tamper. No standard tests appear to exist for soil exhibiting cohesion, though limited research has been carried out in the USA into the behaviour of such soils under laboratory vibratory compaction. The factors; frequency, amplitude, mould size and shape surcharge intensity and manner of application, soil type, time of vibration, number of layers and moisture content are all reported to have an effect on the maximum dry density achievable. It has been recognised that significant interaction occurs between the factors affecting vibratory compaction, but the extent of the interaction appears to be only partly understood. The objective of the limited experimental program was to determine whether a specific graded crushed stone could be compacted to Modified AASHTO maximum dry density with a laboratory vibratory compaction technique using a vibratory table, and how this could best be achieved. The effects on dry density of changing the frequency, the time of vibration, mould size, surcharge pressure, grading and moisture content were investigated. It is concluded that the graded crushed stone in question can be compacted to Mod. AASHTO maximum dry density but that before reliable reproducible results can be achieved with this type of test further work is necessary. Such research should be aimed at investigating the interaction effect between the amplitude of vibration, the soil type and the type and intensity of the applied surcharge pressure.

Full textTriaxial tests under high loading rates and different confining pressures simulate the multi-pass effect of a tractor wheel loading on the soil. A volume measuring technique was developed to be used in triaxial tests conducted under high loading rates.
A sandy clay agricultural soil was tested under predetermined conditions using an INSTRON loading frame, a differential pressure transducer and an APPLE Il + microcomputer. A preliminary analysis indicated that the measuring technique that was developed, was capable of recording volume changes under high loading rates. Stress-density plots were created using the obtained data and a mathematical model was developed relating stress to density. Stress-strain data was used to evaluate the soil parameters under the Mohr-Coulomb failure criteria. Furthermore, the influence of the initial soil density on the soil behavior was evaluated and subsequently compared to the results of a similar study conducted under a different initial density.
