Gap-graded soil-rock mixtures (SRMs), composed of coarse-grained rocks and fine-grained soils particles, are very inhomogeneous materials and widely encountered in geoengineering. In geoengineering applications, it is necessary to know the compaction characteristics in order to estimate the minimum void ratio of gap-graded SRMs. In this …

The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test is a simple strength test that compares the bearing capacity of a material with that of a well-graded crushed stone (thus, a high quality crushed stone material should have a CBR @ ). It is primarily intended for, but not limited to, evaluating the strength of cohesive materials having maximum ...

The compaction ratio was calculated by dividing the densities of the cores to the theoretical air free density (theoretical maximum density) as explained by Sengun et al. [49]. However, in that study, fresh densities of samples compacted in cylindrical molds were used to calculate the compaction ratio, whereas in this study, the average ...

Poisson's ratio has influence on the performance of stone columns. In higher Poisson's ratio, soil becomes more incompressible. In this analysis, Poisson's ratio changes from 0.3 to 0.35 (Table 1), and so the influence of Poisson's ratio on the performance of stone columns is quite small and composite Poisson's ratio can be …

Crushed stone compaction piles are widely used for soft ground improvement because the installed piles improve both overall composite capacity and discharge capacity. However, discharge capacity declines when clogging occurs due to clay penetrating into the voids of crushed stone compaction piles over time. In this study, …

I was actually looking for an accurate range for a specific stone and wound up here... The answer is complicated but boils down to about 10 to 25% over order based on a bunch of stuff. The loose drop weight of a relatively uniform (all the rocks are similar size and shape) 3/4" stone will be about 80-90% depending on the stone (angularity and phi).

The internal stress and strain responses of SCP-improved ground with a high area replacement ratio were different from those with a low-to-medium ratio. Typically, under high ratios, the loaded SCPs bulged, resulting in the bending of the adjacent SCPs, while under low-to-medium ratios, the SCPs deformed individually.

This paper investigates the performance of stone columns in soft clay. Finite element analyses were carried out to evaluate settlement of soft clay reinforced with stone columns using 15-noded triangular elements using Plaxis software. A drained analysis was carried out using Mohr-Coulomb's criterion for soft clay, stones, and sand. At the interface …

Clean 1 1/2 crushed stone does not require compaction. It is spread, tamped in aproxximately 12-18 inch lifts with a plate compactor or a backhoe bucket. Resulting base is quite stong. 1 1/2 can be difficult to place by hand 3/4 is easier to handle. Also if you use 1/12 for the base, raking in some 3/4 stone on top will give nice finished surface.
