Abstract
The (rammer) weight falling method for managing soil compactions has been studied in several research organizations. Two kinds of methods were proposed previously which measures acceleration values and in addition load values at the collision to judge the degree of soil compactions indirectly.
This paper proposes a direct method for determining the degree of soil compactions and estimating the static values of bearing capacities, instead of using accelerometer which is doubtful in dynamic response, from the measurement of load values at the collision solely.
