ABSTRACT

In cohesive soils, densities of the order of 95 percent of standard Proctor can be obtained with practically any of the rollers and tampers; however, vibrators are not effective in cohesive soils. Where high densities are required in cohesive soils in the order of 95 percent of modified Proctor, rubber tired rollers with tire loads in the order of 100 kN and tire pressure in the order of 600 kN/m2 are effective.
