Compaction and Volume Change Behavior of Embankment Soil
This paper examines the state of practice relative to soil compaction and volume change behavior related to settlement of embankment soils. Typical design practices and compaction specifications are discussed relative to construction of embankments for supporting building and highway infrastructure. Observations of behavior of compacted soil during constant water content compression and in response to wetting are discussed relative to typical compacted soil conditions. Finally, recommendations for improving the state of the practice for design and construction of compacted soil embankments are provided.
