AbstractThe general trend in soil protection is to reduce the detrimental soil compaction by loaded wheels of power and transport equipment. This paper reports on the progress in research of soil compaction risk assessment by means of Compaction Capacity (CC) tire rating originally introduced as compaction number (CN) rating [Grečenko A. Tire load rating to reduce soil compaction. J Terramech 2003;40:97–115]. The CC rating evaluates soil dry density along a vertical column 20–50cm below the ground surface. The unique feature of the CC approach is that it converts laboratory compaction measurements directly to soil compaction profiles under evaluated tires without touching the stresses in the ground. The laboratory soil compaction is done with round pressure plate and similarly the tire contact area is represented by a virtual plate loaded by the same mean contact pressure. This paper describes laboratory testing procedures with fundamentals of data conversion and gives examples of CC rating application.
