Influence of external pressure on soil density

The research goal was to study the effect of external pressure on the soil density. The object of study was leached chernozem of the Priobsky plateau. The study found that moisture significantly affects the change in soil density under the influence of external pressure. With higher moisture content, soil compaction occurs more strongly. The density of the soil increases most strongly at the first influences. With an increase in the number of external influences, the increase in density is less intense.
