    Unified Approach to Assess Engineering Performance of Fill Improved by Shallow to Deep Compaction Based Techniques Using Relative Density
    Research 2021 : January - March
    Ahmed Alaaeldin, Emmanouil Spyropoulos, Anas Orabi

    The setting of pre assessment criteria for soil compaction is hardly determined,\nespecially, in case of undecided structure locations. Different design\nguidelines recommend achieving a specific value of relative density for the\ncompaction of fill placement works. Alternatives were discussed through the\nliterature to predict the value of relative density based on soil field tests (e.g.\ncone and standard penetration tests). This paper presents the weakness of\nusing the Over Consolidation Ratio (OCR) as guidance to assess the value of\ncone tip resistance using the soil relative density.
