Compaction

SoilVision is the only database capable of mathematically modeling your collection of compaction curves. Soil compaction properties are necessary for the construction of roads, embankments, earth dams, and other engineering structures. Proper representation of the compaction properties of your soil is critical to the success of your project. SoilVision provides professional data management for your company in three ways. Firstly, complete data management, reporting, and plotting capabilities are provided to get the most from your laboratory data. Secondly, two methods of mathematically representing the compression properties of your soil are provided. Lastly, an industry-standard method of estimating compaction curves provides cost-savings for your company.

   

Features:

  • Database management of ASTM standard and modified Proctor laboratory data
  • Non-linear regression functions capable of fitting two equations to experimental data (quadratic equation and Li equation)
  • Woods pedo-transfer function to estimate compaction curves from limited data based on one or two points on the compaction curve
  • Ability to select groups of similar compaction curves from the database
  • An estimation method allows a compaction curve to be generated for most soils with only one laboratory test
  • Output of mathematical equations describing compaction curve for modeling purposes
  • Professional report generation
  • Advanced plotting capabilities
  • Support for English and Metric units
   

Application:

  • The construction of roads, embankments, earth dams, and other engineering structures
