    Compaction is the process of increasing the density of soils by reducing voids and air pockets. It is done through mechanical means such as rolling, tamping, or vibration. Compaction increases the strength and stability of soils, allowing them to support structural loads. There are two types of compaction - static and dynamic. Static compaction involves slowly applying a load through methods like flooding, while dynamic compaction uses rapidly applied loads through things like vibratory rollers. The degree of compaction is measured through properties like maximum dry density, optimum moisture content, and compactive effort. Properly compacted soils are essential for construction projects involving earthworks like embankments, dams, roads, and foundations.
