A Simple Prediction Model for Soil Compaction under Various Wheel Loads and Geometries as an Aid to Vehicle Design,
Abstract
The simple, numerical model was developed, as an aid to vehicle design, to predict changes in the dry bulk density of a soil due to the passage of a wheel, or wheels, over the soil surface. The model uses Soehne's solutions to estimate stress increases, and empirical isotropic changes below a wheel. Accurate predictions of final dry bulk density for a layered soil require a more rigorous model and reliable data for the soil under consideration.
