The main objective of this study is to establish the specification of the lift thickness for embankment construction with respect to the soil properties and the compaction energy of equipments. Also, the algorithm is developed to get the accurate results from the laboratory tests. The physical and mechanical properties of soils after compaction has been selected and investigated to establish new guide of compaction method and improve previously used quality control for compaction.
In this study, the guidance of compaction control is suggested based on mechanical characteristics of soils obtained from lab experiment results. The algorithm to estimate maximum density of soils is developed for the field application. This study provides the standard of lift thickness associated with the compaction energy of equipment, mechanical characteristics of soils and improves scientific control of compaction with respect to the applicability in construction fields.
