Application Of Continuum Mechanics To Soil Compaction, G. E. Vandenberg, Wesley F. Buchele, L. E. Malvern
Wesley F. Buchele
To study the soil compaction problem, the amount of compaction change at every point in the soil resulting from loads applied to the surface must be determined. If this change can be calculated, the effects obtained from varying the loads can be observed and thereby information gained which will permit predicting and possibly controlling compaction. Such calculations require a suitable theory of soil mechanics to formulate a mathematical model describing the soil.
