Engineering and Compaction Characteristics of Boiler Slag
SourceEngineering and compaction characteristics of boiler slag are presented. Laboratory and field compaction tests are conducted in assessment of these characteristics. Field tests are conducted on a slag fill of 0.92 m (3 ft) in thickness. A smooth drum vibratory roller 56 kN (12.5 kips) is used for compaction. The densification is evaluated after 2, 4, 6, 10 and 16 passes of this roller. A methodology is presented for estimating the lift thickness and the number of passes required for a desired level of densification.
