Dynamic compaction
Short answer
Dynamic compaction drops a heavy weight (10–40 t) from heights of 10–40 m in a grid pattern, densifying loose granular and fill soils to significant depth by impact energy.
What is dynamic compaction?
Dynamic compaction is a ground improvement method where a heavy weight (10-40 t) is repeatedly dropped from a great height (10-40 m) on the ground surface in a grid pattern. The impact energy densifies loose granular and fill soils to considerable depth.
