    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_dirt

    Fill dirt is taken from a location where soil is being removed as a part of leveling an area for construction; it may also contain sand, rocks, and stones, as well as earth. Fill dirt should be as free of organic matter as possible since organic matter will decompose creating pockets of empty space within the fill which could result in settling ...

  3. Waste compaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_compaction

    Waste compaction is the process of compacting waste, reducing it in size. Garbage compactors and waste collection vehicles compress waste so that more of it can be stored in the same space. Waste is compacted again, more thoroughly, at the landfill to conserve valuable airspace and to extend the landfill's life span.

    A solar-powered waste compactor is a smart device that reads a waste bin's fill-level in real-time and triggers an automatic compaction of the waste, effectively increasing the bin's capacity by up to 5-8 times. [1] [2] The compaction mechanism runs on a battery, which is charged by the solar panel. Fully charged, the battery reserve lasts for ...

  7. Soil gradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_Gradation

    When a fill material is being selected for a project such as a highway embankment or earthen dam, the soil gradation is considered. A well graded soil is able to be compacted more than a poorly graded soil. These types of projects may also have gradation requirements that must be met before the soil to be used is accepted.

  8. Soil compaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_compaction

    The ability of the first fill layers to be properly compacted will depend on the condition of the natural material being covered. If unsuitable material is left in place and backfilled, it may compress over a long period under the weight of the earth fill, causing settlement cracks in the fill or in any structure supported by the fill. [4]

  9. Dynamic compaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_compaction

    Dynamic compaction is a method that is used to increase the density of soils when certain subsurface constraints make other methods of soil compaction inappropriate. The process involves dropping a heavy weight repeatedly on the ground at regularly spaced points, usually laid out in a systematic fashion such as a grid.
