3. Materials with voids are more susceptible to water seepage, leading to erosion. Water ingress may also cause the soil to
expand during freezing temperatures and contract during dry spells. Expansion and contraction is a major cause of damage to
building foundations and normally leads to the structure requiring underpinning.
Compaction increases the density of the material and therefore increases its load bearing
capacity. Reduces air voids and therefore reduces the risk of subsidence, expansion and
contraction, due to ingress of water.
Various methods have been employed in the past to specify the compaction required for various applications. The factors to consider
are, material properties, layer thickness, pressure applied, vibration and number of passess. Greater understanding of how compaction
