THE STUDY OF COMPACTIBILITY PARAMETERS IN NON-COHESIVE SOILS BY PROCTOR COMPACTION TEST
Keywords: compactibility of soil, comparative tests, maximum dry density, optimum moisture content
Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyse the results of comparative tests on compaction parameters – maximum bulk density of dry soil (ρds) and optimum moisture (wopt), by Polish standards of previous edition: PN-88/B-04481:1988 and a new edition: PN-EN 13286-2:2010. The study was performed on two non-cohesive, uniform soils sandy gravel Po (fgrSa) and medium sand Ps (fgrmgrSa) with the use of four methods (I, II, III, IV) in compliance with PN-88/B-04481:1988 and four other methods (A+A, A+B, B+A, B+B) in compliance with EN 13286-2:2010. The maximum volume of the bulk density of dry soil (ρds) obtained by the procedures under both standards differ little from each other: by about 2.0–4.0% in sandy gravel and about 1.6–2.1% in medium sand. The values of optimum moisture (wopt) are not subject to any clear patterns.
