Highlights Both Compaction Capacity (CC) and equivalent CC indices rate soil compaction risk. The CC index is a principal part of the CC rating, valid for clay–loam standard soil. Equivalent CC (eCC) index provides rating of soil compaction risk for all soil types. Allowable soil compaction occurs at CC or eCC index 0 (optimal) to 100 (maximal).

    Abstract Tire Compaction Capacity rating system with its CC index was evolved to support the choice of proper tires for off-road vehicles or machines operating on crop producing land with aim to prevent harmful compaction of the ground. This system, fundamentally presented in the Journal of Terramechanics, Vol. 52/2014, is based on a great number of laboratory compaction tests in common clay–loam soil (here marked as standard soil). The presented article deals especially with more accurate application of numerical rating to sandy and clay soils (very different grain size) under the designation equivalent Compaction Capacity (eCC) index, however, is applicable to an arbitrary soil type. The features and practical use of eCC rating are explained and discussed in this technical note.
