Types of mechanical and dynamic compaction
Short answer
Mechanical compaction: smooth-wheeled, sheepsfoot, pneumatic-tyred, vibratory rollers and rammers. Dynamic compaction: heavy tamping, vibroflotation, vibro-compaction, blasting, compaction piles and stone columns.
Write down names of different types of mechanical and dynamic compaction used with regard to foundation soil improvements.
Mechanical compaction (surface): smooth-wheeled rollers, sheepsfoot rollers, pneumatic-tyred rollers, vibratory rollers, and rammers or tampers.
Dynamic (deep) compaction: dynamic compaction (heavy tamping), vibroflotation, vibro-compaction, blasting, compaction piles, and vibro-replacement (stone columns).
