Behavior of clay under compaction by vibratory rollers.

Author

Abstract

"This thesis presents an analysis of the behavior of a lean clay when compacted by commercial vibratory rollers using the results of field investigations conducted by the U. S. Army Engineer Experiment Station, Vicksburg, Mississippi. Conclusions reached indicate that a lean clay soil will behave substantially the same under compaction by a vibratory roller as it does under other conventional methods of field compaction. The relationship of amplitude to the density and moisture content is also examined in this paper with the conclusion that the variations in amplitude of a vibratory roller is not significant as a measure of the density of a lean clay"--Abstract p. ii
