Dynamic compaction is used to increase the density of soil deposits when other methods are unfit. Sure makes for an interesting sight! Via @civilengineeringdiscoveries | Civil Engineering Discoveries

Dynamic compaction is a ground improvement technique used to enhance soil properties by densifying loose, granular soils or fills. This method involves repeatedly dropping a heavy weight, typically ranging from 8 to 30 tons, from a significant height (up to 30 meters) onto the soil surface. The impact energy compacts the soil, increasing its density and stability, which reduces settlement and improves its load-bearing capacity. This process can be repeated in a grid pattern to achieve uniform im

Rapid Impact Compaction. Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC) is a soil improvement technique used to treat loose granular soil soils and permit shallow spread footing construction. The RIC technique applies impact energy to the ground surface resulting in densification of loose granular soils to a depth of up to 15 feet. The impact energy is applied using a hydraulic (typically) ram with a drop weight (4-8 tons) falling on an impact plate in a designed pattern. Source: Hayward Baker Follow us! @engine
