DETERMINATION OF THE OPTIMUM HUMIDITY FOR COMPACTING A FILLING MATERIAL USED IN FOUNDATIONS WITH CONCRETE WASTE CONTENT
DETERMINATION OF THE OPTIMUM HUMIDITY FOR COMPACTING A FILLING MATERIAL USED IN FOUNDATIONS WITH CONCRETE WASTE CONTENT

Summary/Abstract: The fill material can be anything from waste to clay, gravel and is usually compactedto provide support and stability. The type of material can vary depending on the application area. Forexample, crushed stone can improve drainage around the foundation. Filling can also be used toinsulate foundations or to improve drainage, being essential in the construction process of variousstructures or roads. Depending on the project, filling layers in construction can be a simple or complexoperation that requires special equipment.It is vital to ensure that the filling material is properly compacted to provide a stable base. Todetermine this, in specialized laboratories, determinations of the optimal compaction moisture aremade through the Proctor test. In this paper, we want to determine the optimal compaction moistureof a filling material containing concrete waste from construction and demolition.
