an improved method of limestone and sandy soil compaction comprising a first tamping session using a 10 ′× 10 ′ vibro tamper plate timed for about 90 seconds followed by at least 4 days of settling . a second tamping session using the 10 ′× 10 ′ vibro tamper plate timed for about 120 seconds followed by at least 4 days of settling . a third tamping session using a 7 ′× 7 ′ vibro tamper plate for about 90 seconds followed by about 6 days of settling . the disclosed method provides an improvement over deep dynamic compaction by providing a soil compaction method that has a higher production rate than ddc , reduces the vibration and noise level as compared to the ddc and thereby lessens the impact on neighboring structures .
