Ensuring Foundation Stability: Achieving the Right Compaction Percentage

January 24, 2025

When constructing a building, ensuring the stability and longevity of its foundation is paramount. A critical element in this process is achieving the correct compaction percentage for the soil beneath the foundation. Proper soil compaction not only strengthens the ground but also minimizes risks such as uneven settling and structural damage. This guide delves into the importance of soil compaction for foundations, foundation soil requirements, and soil compaction standards for foundations, helping builders and engineers establish a secure base. Understanding Soil Compaction for Foundations Soil compaction is the process of reducing the volume of air within the soil, making it... View Article

Proper Soil Compaction Procedures

June 6, 2023

Proper Soil Compaction Procedures Soil compaction is the process of increasing the density of soil by compressing it. This can be a useful technique when constructing buildings, roads, and other structures. However, it can also have negative effects on soil quality, such as reducing water infiltration and root growth in plants. It is essential, therefore, to follow proper soil compaction procedures to ensure that the soil’s physical and chemical properties are retained. Here are a few guidelines to follow during soil compaction procedures: 1. Identify the Type of Soil Not all soils are the same. They have different properties that... View Article
