Numerous
studies have shown that the physical properties of remolded clays
are influenced by the compaction method. For example, lower permeabilities
are usually achieved with kneaded, compacted clay rather than by
using static or dynamic compaction.
This S-575 Pneumatic Kneading Compactor performs
the functions of a Harvard Miniature Compactor, except air pressure
is used instead of springs to vary the compactive effort. Soil
is placed in a split or solid mold in layers with each layer receiving
a prescribed number of tamps.
