Method of estimating the effective zone induced by rapid impact compaction

Abstract This paper proposes a method for estimating the effective zone, including effective depth and effective range of compaction degree, from rapid impact compaction (RIC) on sand layer whose fines content is less than 10%. The proposed method utilizes a string of microelectromechanical system a...
