Investigations to check the air void content as a compaction requirement for fine-grained soils and cohesive mixed soils
| Contact |
Background
- Consistency and plasticity are decisive for soil mechanical properties of fine- and mixed-grained soils
- Damage to earth structures by reducing consistency due to water ingress
Goal
- Determination of the influence of the air void content on the deformation behaviour of compacted fine- and mixed-grained soils
- Estimation of the advantages of tightening the requirements for the proportion of air voids with regard to the long-term load-bearing capacity and serviceability of earthworks
