Abstract:
Soil samples were compacted at different initial water contents under slow rate (compression) and fast rate (Proctor) stress loading methods. Energy inputs were computed and momentary stresses were calculated for the fast stress loading rates. Fast loading rates required greater energy expenditures to attain a bulk density as great as that attained by quasi-static loading (very slow loading rates). © 1987.
