Abstract

In order to research compaction characteristic of aeolian sand with different sediment percentage, and get suitable roadbed filling, seven kinds of aeolian sand with different sediment percentage is made by taking representative sample of aeolian sand. Aeolian sand samples are compacted by heavy compaction method. The sediment percentage of aeolian sand is greater than 8%, the roadbed filling is suitable for compacted by using heavy compaction method to determine the maximum dry density of aeolian sand with different sediment percentage. When the sediment percentage of aeolian sand is range of 16.5%–30.2%, the dry density of aeolian sand is close to maximum dry density and has the best compaction effect, the aeolian sand is a kind of suitable material for roadbed filling.
