In the construction of earth dam, embankment, highway by filling, a compaction is to increase the density of applying pressure.
By compaction interspaces between the soil graivos decrease so that density and adhesion increase but void and permeability decrease. Good compaction results in higher stablilty.
The effect of the compaetion depends on a number of factors, of which the most important are soil charactesistics. Water content, and external force.
In this study discussed is about sandy loam that since, with indentical force exerted and indentical compaction method, the effect of the compaction will be different due to the soil characteristics, the change of optimum moisture content and of maximum dry density by compaction yields difference in Compaction for a same sample.
