Regression Analysis on Compaction Characteristics of Sand Clay Soils

Abstract

Soil compaction is one of the major geo technical engineering applications in infrastructure development of the nation. Large volumes of soil are used in the construction of flyovers, earth dams, and railways. There is a need to understand comprehensively in a unified and coherent manner. Thus the knowledge of compaction behavior and its characteristics of fine grained soils at different compaction energies assume great importance from they viewpoint of practical significant. In the present work, compaction parameters such as (MDD) (max) and optimum moisture content (OMC) care determined at various compaction energies by conducting the laboratory compaction tests. In the field, the compaction of soils usually involves using different compaction energies. A limited experimental investigation has been taken up in the present study. The cardinal aim of the present study is to focus on effect of compaction energy on the behavior and compaction characteristics and unconfined compressive strength (qu) of soils.
