Abstract

The writer proposes a combined method of compaction of collapsible soils. He presents results of investigations carried out to study compacted zones of pads punched (tamped-out) by rammers 10 and 20 tons in mass, as well as a comparative analysis of the pads over against compacted zones obtained by means of plane rammers. The analysis results are illustrated by the “arch effect” on the stress conditions of the soaked soil mass.
