Case Histories-Based Evaluation of the Deep Dynamic Compaction Technique on Municipal Solid Waste Sites
Publication: Geo-Frontiers 2011: Advances in Geotechnical Engineering
Abstract
The deep dynamic compaction technique has been implemented with success in a large range of soils including municipal solid waste (MSW). The results of a systematic study on the effectiveness of the technique on MSW sites through 64 case histories are presented. The results suggest that the depth of improvement is typically smaller in MSW compared to cohesionless soils. Also, the induced settlement is significantly affected by the applied energy and varies from 5% to 25% of the thickness of the MSW.
