THE EFFECT OF GEOMETRIC PATTERNS OF SOIL STRUCTURE ON COMPRESSIBILITY

Abstract
The reasons for the inefficiency of traditional deep-ploughing and subsoiling methods are investigated. Compressibilities are compared on two soil samples, with and without tubular holes, which are hit axially with compressing force. It is shown that axially arranged holes decrease the compressibility, as compared with reference samples with equal initial void ratios.
