Dynamic compaction is a ground improvement method that utilises repeated high‐energy impacts to densify and stabilise loose granular soils. This technique has evolved from traditional field methods ...

Researchers are using T-Rex, a 64,000-pound shaker truck, in research to increase the resilience of homes and low-rise structures built on top of soils prone to liquefaction during strong earthquakes.

Using old ideas for new methods of compaction|~|Landpac body.jpg|~||~|Old ideas often hold the answer to many of the technical problems that we face. Construction is no different as commercial ...

For a successful outcome, each phase of the work – soil stabilisation, compaction, grading, material delivery, paving – must proceed with maximum efficiency and always within challenging time ...

Soil compaction is becoming of increasing concern to Indiana agriculture. For many years,it was thought to be mostly a "southern U.S. problem" and of little importance in the Midwest. Today, however, ...

Pavement performance depends on many factors. Mix designs, ambient and mix temperatures, rolling methods, joints, and types of equipment used can all be analyzed and tweaked to deliver a better ...

Soil compaction is the enemy of all landscape plants. Roots take up water, nutrients, and oxygen from the soil. They also use it to anchor themselves in place against strong West Texas winds. But when ...
