Those factors are crucial in structures and engineering applications such as earth dams, embankments, support of pavements, or support of foundations. The degree of the compaction depends on the soil properties, the type and amount of energy provided by the compaction process and the soil's water content. For every soil, there is an optimum ...

Disadvantages. The disadvantage of compaction factor test is as follows; Due to the large and bulky nature of the device, its use reduces in the field. This method requires a balance to measure the mass of the concrete in the cylinder. In this method, there is no use of vibration and it is used rarely.

Soil compaction affects various properties, including: Soil Structure: Soil compacted below the O.M.C typically exhibits a flocculated structure, while compaction above the O.M.C results in a dispersed structure. Permeability: Soil permeability decreases with increasing water content on the dry side of the O.M.C due to changes in void sizes.

The Compaction Factor Test is vital for ensuring the quality and durability of concrete. The test is conducted as per relevant IS CODES and helps to determine the consistency of the concrete mix. IS 1199 – 1959, ACI 211.3-75 (revised 1987), and BS 1881-103:1993 are some of the relevant IS Codes for the Compaction Factor Test.

Put air-dried soil into a large mixing pan (10 lbs. of soil for a 4-inch mold, and 15 lbs. for a 6-inch mold). Pulverize the soil and run it through a # 4 sieve. Use the balance to determine the weight of the soil samples and compaction molds and bases (without the collar), and record the weights.

The British standard BS 1377: Part 4 provides a method to calculate a laboratory compaction factor for materials like soil. The compaction factor is determined by compacting a sample at varying moisture contents and determining the maximum dry density. The ratio of maximum dry density to loose material density gives the …

The required soil compaction factor (according to SNiP 3.02.01-87) for backfill or embankment is presented in table 1. Table 1. Soil compaction factor. For example, the value of the compaction coefficient of the backfill soil made of sand, the filling capacity of 2.5 m and the load on the embankment of 0.3 MPa is 95 %.

provided densities and specified compaction result in cut-to-fill swell. Let's say we are provided with an existing dry density of 102.3 lbs/ft3, a maximum dry density of 110.6 lbs/ft3 ( theoretical compaction), and minimum compaction to 90% of maximum density. Plug these known values into the same formula to calculate the Fill Factor for ...

The shrink factor will make the in-situ volume smaller, so it will be less than 1. If you are given a shrink factor of 0.20, use 0.80 in the equation so that the soil becomes 20% smaller. This is much easier to remember and can save some valuable time on these easy problems that will be better used on harder and longer problems.

I can't imagine that the program's help file doesn't include rough numbers to use for these quantities based on the soil type. For cohesive soils, I would crudely estimate a shrink factor of 20-30%, with the swell factor maybe 5% larger. You should ask a professional estimator or conduct data gathering over several projects to refine the ...

The principal reason for compacting soil is to reduce subsequent settlement under working loads. Compaction increases the shear strength of the soil. Compaction reduces the voids ratio making it more difficult for water to flow through soil. This is important if the soil is being used to retain water such as would be required for an earth dam.

Under the condition of equal compaction energy, with the increase in the soil layers, the soil bottom energy consumption ratio decreases, and the change is similar to an exponential function. When n = 3, the range of variation in the n -related coefficient k is larger, and the range is more than 10%.

Soil is measured in cubic yards. When calculating your soil amounts and accounting for shrink or swell, you must factor in the type of material and its density, or your volume totals will be wrong. The swell factor of soil is the amount of volume increase from the undisturbed (BCY) to the excavated (LCY) state due to the air pockets (fluff ...

Within the model, different concentration factors are chosen for very hard, hard, firm or soft soil, based on soil bulk density (Smith, 1985). These limitations mean that the model is more suited to comparing the compaction caused by different vehicles than for predicting the actual bulk density in a particular field ( Smith, 1987 ).

swell factor = 1.67. load factor = 0.599. The increase of volume from bank to loose = 1 * 1.67 = 1.67 cubic yards. The change of mass density for one lb/yd3 from bank to loose = 4950 * 0.599 = 2965 lb/yd3. The volume of the material changes from bank to loose, the total weight of the material from bank to loose stays the same.
