Dynamic compaction is a ground improvement technique used to enhance soil properties by densifying loose, granular soils or fills. This method involves repeatedly dropping a heavy weight, typically ranging from 8 to 30 tons, from a significant height (up to 30 meters) onto the soil surface. The impact energy compacts the soil, increasing its density and stability, which reduces settlement and improves its load-bearing capacity. This process can be repeated in a grid pattern to achieve uniform im

1M views · 1.4K reactions | The composite foundation method uses dynamic compaction, hole-punching, and gravel pile consolidation. A rocket hammer punches a hole, gravel is added, and the hammer compacts it, displacing and consolidating surrounding soft soil to form dense gravel piles. The pile tops are recompacted. This replaces reclaimed soil and densifies surrounding soil through the hammer's impact energy. | GIGadgets | Facebook

Dynamic compaction (DC), also known as dynamic deep compaction, was advanced in the mid-1960s by Louis Menard. The process involves dropping a heavy weight on the surface of the ground to compact soils to depths as great as 12.5 m. The purpose of this method is to reduce foundation settlements, reduce seismic subsidence and liquefaction potential, permit construction on fills, densify garbage dumps, and reduce settlements in collapsible soils. This method is most effective in permeable, granular

Rapid Impact Compaction. Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC) is a soil improvement technique used to treat loose granular soil soils and permit shallow spread footing construction. The RIC technique applies impact energy to the ground surface resulting in densification of loose granular soils to a depth of up to 15 feet. The impact energy is applied using a hydraulic (typically) ram with a drop weight (4-8 tons) falling on an impact plate in a designed pattern. Source: Hayward Baker Follow us! @engine
