Static compaction of soils

The method consists in deep compaction of low density soils. These are subsiding soils that are in a dry state and, when soaked, give unacceptable sediments of foundations. With deep compaction, it is not uncommon to get rid of retaining walls, which significantly reduces the cost of building foundations. This method is in great demand in conditions of dense urban development, since it is possible to compact the soil without impact and dynamic loads, which can negatively affect nearby buildings.

Soil compaction methods are divided into:

-surface, when compacting effects are applied to the surface and lead to compaction of a relatively small layer of soil

-deep, when compacting effects are transmitted by significant depths of the soil massif.

∙ rolling;

∙ tamping;

∙ vibration mechanisms (vibration compaction)

∙ underwater explosions;

∙ ramming of foundation pits.
