| Abstract | ||
| Building on/or with compacted fill is common to many major construction projects. The engineering behavior of a soil depends on (among other things) the size distribution and the composition of the particles. The properties of a given soil can usually by significantly change by adding some selected soil. Large size particles have considerable importance in physical properties such as permeability, shear strength and load response especially for fine-grained soil. The objective of this paper is the determination of the effect of stone content on the results of a compacted soil implementarly different compaction effort. Compaction tests were conducted on soil stone mixtures. A soil matrix is uniformly prepared by mixing selected amount of stone to the soil. | ||
