Abstract

Laboratory determination of the compaction characteristics of soils is important for use in earthwork constructions. The purpose of compacting earth fills such as earth dams and embankments (highway, railway and canal) is to produce a soil mass that will satisfy the two basic criteria: reduction in settlement and increase in shear strength. For preliminary design and assessment, correlations with the liquid limit have been attempted by various investigators. However, from the present study it is seen that the correlations are not up to a satisfactory level. In this paper the results of detailed investigations carried out are examined to find which of the index properties correlate well with the compaction characteristics. In the analysis, apart from the authors' experimental results, results from the available literature have also been considered. It is found that the plastic limit bears a good correlation with the compaction characteristics, namely optimum moisture content and maximum dry unit weight, much better than liquid limit or plasticity index. La détermination en laboratoire des caractéristiques de compaction des sols est importante pour les constructions à terrassement. Les remblais de terre compactée comme les levées de terre et les talus (autoroutes, voies ferrées et canaux) ont pour but de produire une masse de sol qui satisfera deux critères de base: la réduction du tassement et l'amélioration de la résistance au cisaillement. Pour la conception préliminaire et l'évaluation, divers chercheurs ont tenté d' établir des corrélations avec la limite liquide. Cependant, cette étude montre que les corrélations ne sont pas d'un niveau satisfaisant. Dans cet exposé, nous examinons les résultats de ces recherches détaillées afin de trouver celles des propriétés indice qui correspondent le mieux aux caractéristiques de compaction. Dans cette analyse, outre les résultats expérimentaux obtenus par les auteurs, les résultats disponibles publiés ont é galement é té pris en compte. Nous avons trouvé que la limite plastique montre une bonne corrélation avec les caractéristiques de compaction, nommément la teneur en eau optimum et le poids unitaire sec maximum, bien mieux qu'avec l'indice de limite liquide ou l'indice de plasticité.
