OPTIMUM COMPACTION WET & DRY - civil engineering vk
Optimum Compaction Wet and dry Dry of Optimum Compaction and Wet of Optimum compaction Comparing between and dry and wet of optimum compaction Properties changes with compaction Dry optimum Wet of Optimum Structure after compaction Flocculated (Random) Dispersed (Oriented) Water deficiency More Less Permeability More, Isotropic Less, Isotropic Compressibility at low stress Low Higher at high stress High Lower Swelleability High Low Shrinkage Low High Stress strain Behavior Brittle,high peak, Higher elastic modulus Ductile, No peak, Lower elastic modulus. Strength (undrained) as mould after saturation High Much lower Construction Pore Water Pressure Low High
