Dynamic compaction is a ground improvement method that utilises repeated high‐energy impacts to densify and stabilise loose granular soils. This technique has evolved from traditional field methods ...

Soil compaction is a fundamental process in geotechnical engineering, aimed at enhancing soil density and stability by optimising moisture content and applied compactive effort. The key parameters—the ...

Proper soil compaction is crucial for both small and large construction projects because it increases soil density and load bearing, ensuring the stability, durability, and longevity of buildings and ...

Cover crops like oats, rye, and clover are planted between cash crop seasons to reduce erosion, add organic matter, and ...

The calendar may say it’s time to get in the fields, but the soil conditions should determine our actions. After a long winter, most of us suffer from cabin fever and we want to get out and busy. This ...

Soil compaction is a global threat to soil ecosystem services, causing tremendous costs to society. The costs of soil compaction are borne by the cumulative loss of soil functionality (e.g. yield loss ...

In the spring many agricultural producers are anxious to get into the field and perform tillage, planting, and chemical applications. However, if field operations are done when the soil is too wet, ...
