To revise the current design and compaction practice for the contraction of embankments of roads, railways and residential areas, river levees, earth fill dams etc by encouraging better compaction and taking into account its effects in design and compaction control, a series of laboratory compaction tests and stress-strain tests on a wide variety of sandy soils, gravelly soils and cement-mixed soils were performed.It was found that the compaction properties and stress-strain properties of compacted soil is a function of compacted dry density dry density and the degree of saturation during compaction Sr (not the water content w that is usually used in current practice) that does not include the compaction energy level as a variable. Based on the above, a new design and compaction control method controlling and measuring dry density and Sr (not w) is proposed.
