Compacting materials is a critical step in construction that strengthens soil, asphalt, and fill layers by removing air gaps and increasing density. Proper compaction creates a stable base that supports roads, foundations, and paved surfaces, helping prevent settling, cracking, and long-term structural issues.
Answers to common questions about material compaction, including equipment, density control, and how proper compaction prevents structural problems.
It prevents settling and increases structural stability.
Soil, asphalt, gravel, and structural fill.
Rollers, plate compactors, and vibratory compactors.
Yes. Improper compaction leads to cracks and settling.
Yes. Stable foundations depend on proper compaction.
