The vibratory roller is used for the compaction of _________.

  • A.Moist silty sand
  • B.Well graded dry sand
  • C.Clay of medium compressibility
  • D.Silt of high compressibility

Answer: B

The vibratory roller is used for Well graded dry sand.

Vibration rearranges the grains of cohesionless soils such as sands and gravels into a denser packing, so vibratory rollers are the most effective compactors for granular material, especially well-graded sand.

Clays and silts are cohesive; their particles are held by water films and are compacted better by kneading and pressure, with sheepsfoot or pneumatic-tyred rollers. Moist silty sand also responds less well to vibration than clean sand.
