Compaction definition

Compaction means the increase in soil bulk density.

Compaction means the densification of a fill by mechanical means.

Compaction means increasing the density of a material by reducing the voids between the particles and is generally accomplished by controlled placement and mechanical effort such as from repeated application of wheel, track, or roller loads from heavy equipment.
