SOIL COMPACTION INVESTIGATION: REPORT 10. EVALUATION OF VIBRATORY ROLLERS ON THREE TYPES OF SOILS
The study was conducted for the purpose of determining the ability of vibratory rollers to compact soils. For comparative purposes, a 50-ton rubber- tired roller was used which is a required compaction device in present Corps of Engineers Guide Specifications. Three vibratory rollers were selected f...

To evaluate the vibratory rollers, each was used to compact three soil types (a lean clay, a crushed limestone, and a clean sand). Results indicate that a heavy, low-frequency vibratory roller will compact to greater depths than a light, high-frequency roller; however, the light, high-frequency roller will compact soil satisfactorily for a few inches below the surface. Soil types have a very definite influence on results obtained with vibratory rollers. The vibratory rollers generally perform better in granular soils; however, the heavy, low-frequency type rollers do a satisfactory job in clay soils.
