Dynamic compaction is a ground improvement method that utilises repeated high‐energy impacts to densify and stabilise loose granular soils. This technique has evolved from traditional field methods ...

Researchers are using T-Rex, a 64,000-pound shaker truck, in research to increase the resilience of homes and low-rise structures built on top of soils prone to liquefaction during strong earthquakes.

Using old ideas for new methods of compaction|~|Landpac body.jpg|~||~|Old ideas often hold the answer to many of the technical problems that we face. Construction is no different as commercial ...

Soils damaged by livestock and machinery significantly reduce the uptake of essential nutrients – they will run off the surface instead of being taken down to the roots. And the worm populations that ...

For a successful outcome, each phase of the work – soil stabilisation, compaction, grading, material delivery, paving – must proceed with maximum efficiency and always within challenging time ...

Although the warmer weather may seem like the perfect time to begin spring yard work, it is often best to wait.

Soil compaction is defined as the method of mechanically increasing the density of soil. In construction, this is a significant part of the building process. If performed improperly, settlement of ...

The ground tells the truth. When soil turns dense and stubborn, plants don’t just struggle quietly—they stall, weaken, and ...

This year in South Dakota many areas have received high amounts of rainfall during the summer. This has led to portions of fields being wet particularly in the northeastern part of the state. Soils ...
