A method and apparatus for compacting compactable soils by vibration.

摘要

For compacting compactable soils by vibration there is used a compacting apparatus comprising an elongate member (25) having a vibrator (24) mounted on one end thereof, and further having laterally projecting fins (26) arranged along at least part of the length thereof. The apparatus further comprises means (22) for sensing the load required to lift the elongate member (25) and the vibrator (24) mounted thereon. The elongate member (25) is inserted to a given depth into soil to be compacted and is there vibrated to densify and compact soil surrounding said elongate member while withdrawing the elongate member from a compacted location when the load required to lift the elongate member (25) together with the vibrator (24) from said location, while the member is vibrating, is at least equal to a previously established set-point value corresponding to a desired degree of compaction.
