Abstract

Through indoor the compaction test and unconfined compressive strength of compacted soil samples and CBR strength test, analyzes compaction characteristics of wetland fine grained soil and the change rule of compacted strength with compaction work and moisture content.The results show that under the same compaction work effect, when the soil moisture content is less than optimum moisture content,along with the increase of moisture content, dry density increases, when the soil moisture content is greater than the optimum moisture content, along with the increase of moisture content, dry density decreases and to a larger extent.When the compaction work is bigger, the soil dry density is bigger, the compaction strength is higher and the optimum moisture content is smaller.Strength decreases when under high moisture content condition, CBR value is relatively stable in the wet side of optimum moisture content.
