Abstract: A method of compacting soil performing the steps of establishing a grid pattern of individual partitions at a jobsite, performing a first tamping session to tamper each partition using a 10?×10? vibro tamper plate for about 90 seconds followed by at least 4 days of settling. Performing a second tamping session to tamper each partition using the 10?×10? vibro tamper plate timed for about 120 seconds followed by at least 4 days of settling. Performing a third tamping session to tamper each partition using a 7?×7? vibro tamper plate for about 90 seconds followed by about 6 days of settling.

Abstract: An improved method of limestone and sandy soil compaction comprising a first tamping session using a 10?×10? vibro tamper plate timed for about 90 seconds followed by at least 4 days of settling. A second tamping session using the 10?×10? vibro tamper plate timed for about 120 seconds followed by at least 4 days of settling. A third tamping session using a 7?×7? vibro tamper plate for about 90 seconds followed by about 6 days of settling. The disclosed method provides an improvement over deep dynamic compaction (DDC) by providing a soil compaction method that has a higher production rate than DDC, reduces the vibration and noise level as compared to the DDC and thereby lessens the impact on neighboring structures.
