Abstract
Some laboratory and field investigations of the compaction of sands are analyzed in order to obtain information on the fundamental compaction characteristics, especially under impact. A method is developed to estimate the compaction of cohesionless soils near the shaft and base of driven piles and displacement caissons of the Franki type. The theoretical results are compared with field observations.
