what is the difference between compaction and consolidation??
Answer Posted / mahendran b,cccl,cadbury
A distinction should be made between compaction techniques for new land and consolidation techniques for loose soil. Compaction is used for coarse-grain soil (sand) and can be done with smooth rollers, HEIC, or dynamic impact or rapid impact compactors or vibroflotation. When the soil is too fine, or too silty, replacement methods are used. These can be sand poles, grind poles and mixing with cement or other suitable materials that render the soil almost immediately ready for use. Other techniques are used exclusively for expediting consolidation of loose soils. These include vertical drains, sand drains and a system known variously as BeauDrain, IFCO or PTD, as well as vacuum consolidation, all methods in which soil improvement takes a longer period of time.

In foundation design, while we do the base pressure check, we normally check if the attained pressure value is less than the GROSS BEARING CAPACITY of the soil which is the sum of net bearing capacity of soil and the overburden pressure. Actually, the overburden pressure acts against the net bearing capacity of the soil and I feel that we are actually increasing the bearing capacity value and doing the check. I feel that this is NOT right. Please clarify on this.
