A compactor is an earthmoving machine that uses mechanical force to compact soil, gravel, and other filling layers. It is widely used in foundations, roads, airports, dams, and other engineering projects. There are various types of compactors, mainly divided into static rolling, impact, vibration, and composite action according to their working principles.
Improving soil compaction and bearing capacity: The main purpose of compaction is to rearrange soil particles through external forces, reduce gaps between particles, and improve soil compaction. This can not only enhance the bearing capacity of the foundation, prevent settlement or deformation of the foundation under load, but also improve the stability and durability of the project.
Improving soil permeability: Compaction can reduce the voids in the soil, thereby reducing its permeability. Reducing the impact of moisture on the foundation is crucial in road, dam and other engineering projects, as it helps to further ensure the safe operation of the project.
Meeting engineering design and usage requirements: Compaction is a crucial process in various engineering constructions, especially in the construction of infrastructure such as roads and dams. By compaction, the soil can achieve the required compactness and stability for engineering design and use.
Improving construction efficiency and quality: Choosing appropriate compaction equipment and process parameters for soil compaction can significantly enhance construction efficiency and quality. For example, impact compactors can provide more efficient and uniform compaction effects under different soil types and construction conditions.
