Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Abstract

Results are presented for experimental studies conducted on models and full-scale foundations to evaluate the influence exerted by the operation of hydraulic hammers on foundation stability during the compaction of soil. Recommendations are given for safe distances to foundation walls when soil is compacted in the foundation channels with allowance for the impact energy of the hydraulic hammer.
