Soil compaction is a fundamental process in geotechnical engineering, aimed at enhancing soil density and stability by optimising moisture content and applied compactive effort. The key parameters—the ...

Dynamic compaction is a ground improvement method that utilises repeated high‐energy impacts to densify and stabilise loose granular soils. This technique has evolved from traditional field methods ...

Soil compaction is a global threat to soil ecosystem services, causing tremendous costs to society. The costs of soil compaction are borne by the cumulative loss of soil functionality (e.g. yield loss ...

When you look at the walk-behind compactors in your fleet, chances are you don't think of them as precise scientific instruments. Yet, soil compaction is a science and it requires a certain degree of ...

Cover crops like oats, rye, and clover are planted between cash crop seasons to reduce erosion, add organic matter, and ...

In the spring many agricultural producers are anxious to get into the field and perform tillage, planting, and chemical applications. However, if field operations are done when the soil is too wet, ...

Often, one of the last and most critical steps in building roads is when compactors roll down that last mile. Accurate compaction can be overlooked in the rush to finish that last pass before the ...
