Comparative Performance Of Loose Sandy Soils Improved By Deep Compaction Techniques

The objectives of the study were to determine the effect of fine content on the improvement of cohesionless loose sandy soils, to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of the dynamic compaction and vibro-compaction techniques, to provide suitable semi empirical models on improvement and finally...
