Soil Compaction is the process of applying mechanical forces to soil with the aim to reduce the air spaces between soil particles and thereby increase the shear strength of the compacted soil.
Benefits of Soil Compaction
- increases bearing capacity
- decreases permeability
- reduces foundation settlement
- increases slope stability of embankments
