From my experience it depends a lot on how is the compaction done. If you are compacting road crush with a vibratory plate you will get about 10 to 15% compaction. (This is based on you having a stable compacted base first. If you are putting the road crush on top of top soil you will lose more to compaction.)

Dynamic compaction (DDC, heavy tamping, dynamic consolidation, etc.) is a cost-effective method of soil compaction whereby a heavy weight is repeatedly lifted and dropped from a height, impacting the ground surface with a readily calculated impact energy (Figures 6.12 and 6.13).

The subsidence of urban pavement is becoming frequent accidents, and backfill is the primary means of remedy. Crushed stone is a commonly used aggregate for backfill material in engineering, and its compaction behavior under load needs to be well understood.

Clean gravels and crushed rock are sometimes referred to as “self-compacting,” meaning that if they are dumped in beside a pipe, the material will have a high density.

Soil compaction is the practice of applying mechanical compactive effort to densify a soil by reducing the void space between soil particles. Compaction occurs when particles are pressed together to reduce the space between them. Highly compacted soils contain very few spaces resulting in soil with higher unit weight.

Assume you are using dry gravel with a swell percentage of 15% and a shrink percentage of -7%. Plug those values into the calculator and it will tell you that the compaction factor = 1.237. Multiply the 1185 cubic yards by 1.237. 1185 * 1.237 = 1465.9. To complete this job you will need 1465.9 cubic yards of this gravel in loose state volume.

The compaction behaviour of crushed salt is rather complex and involves several coupled THM processes (Kröhn et al., 2017; Hansen et al., 2014). It is influenced by internal properties like humidity and grain size distribution, as well as boundary conditions such as temperature, compaction rate or stress state.

Compaction is the elimination of excess air spaces (voids) in a soil by mechanical means. Vibration is a good mechanical means in sand soils; compression and impact are more successful means of compaction in clay soil. Some common types of equipment used for compaction on sand are track-type dozers, vibrating rollers, wobble-wheel rollers and

With a degree of compaction DPr < 103 %, Ev2/Ev1 must be ≤ 2.5. Ev2/Ev1 ratios higher than 2.2 or 2.5 are permitted if the Ev1 value is at least 0.6 times the required Ev2 value.
