Effect of Relative Compaction on the Bearing Capacity of Cohesive Soils

Abstract

The study examined the effect of bearing capacity of soil on the relative compaction by taking samples from different sites and carrying out strength experiments and comparing bearing capacity with the relative compaction to investigate the possibility of reducing the percentage of the approved measurements in the specifications of the percentages allowed for buildings with fixed load. A number of parameters have been prepared to calculate the amount of the degree of measurement to be adopted and the light tolerance required in any engineering work and for various factor of safety and non-compliance with specifications, which require in most cases to be the degree of compaction more than 95%. Linear regression equation between bearing capacity and relative compaction was proposed that can be applied without complying with required specification.
