Automatic Soil Compaction Machine

Soil Compaction is the fundamental requirement for the construction of earth fill for dams; reservoirs canal embankments, highway, railways and runways. The relationship between soil moisture contains and compacted dry density is very useful for deciding construction, specification and quality control of compacted earth fill. While designing a soil fill is evaluated by testing soil specimen compacted to the density as would be achieved during construction quality control is essentially required to check the density of compacted soil achieved in the field, by checking its strength. The working model which we have fabricated is totally based on the mechanism that compacts soil. It is designed in such a way that it will solve soil testing problem at a very low cost. The working principle of the model is very simple it is not too heavy and can be manually driven by just a single man the soil compaction machine is a new innovative concept is mainly used to save power. In this concept we have designed a soil compaction machine. It is used to testing the soil without using electric power. Now days testing of soil are very easy by using the electric power systems like automatic machine but these machines are very costly. Compaction machines apply forces to increase soil density. Some equipment applies only static forces, which include pressure and kneading produced only by the dead weight and configuration of the machine itself. Such static forces affect only the top layers of material, and their impact is felt only to a limited depth. Other equipment also applies the dynamic forces of vibration or impact to increase its compactive effect. These machines use a mechanism, usually, to add a downward rack and pinion force beyond the machine’s static weight.
