Compressibility and Settlement of Compacted Fills /

Settlement predictions are necessary for compacted fills under a variety of circumstances (e.g., when fills are high, where major structural loads are to be supported, and when the fill materials are clays or weak rocks). As a result of an extensive testing program on both laboratory- and field-comp...

Description
Summary:Settlement predictions are necessary for compacted fills under a variety of circumstances (e.g., when fills are high, where major structural loads are to be supported, and when the fill materials are clays or weak rocks). As a result of an extensive testing program on both laboratory- and field-compacted materials, a systematic approach to this prediction has been developed. The recommended procedure involves one-dimensional compression testing in three parts
