Rammed Impact Compaction is one of the ways to increase the density of the surface soils. In this method, the energy transfers as frequency shootout by a hammer connected to a hydraulic hammer on a mechanical shovel, in a network with square or triangular format transfers to soil bed. The number of beats from the hammer to the ground is about 400_650 beats per minute. Rammed points and other soil improvement parameters including the energy, rammed staging and periods of stopping, get chosen based on data obtained from the test site.
Benefits:
_Increase the bearing capacity of soil
_Reduce settlement
_Demolition holes and increase the density of soil
_Fast implementing speed
_Economically efficient
_Reduce the volume of embankment
_The possibility of bed compaction in excavation area
Applications:
_ Compaction of the construction debrises
_Compaction of collapsible soils
_Compaction of loose and soft soils
