compaction vibration and its transmission. In recent years, domestic and foreign
scholars get information mainly by using field test, numerical analysis or other means.
They analyzed the dynamic compaction vibration attenuation law under different
dynamic compaction tamping energy and geological conditions. (Jiang et
al.,1999)(Yang et al.,2007)(Yu et al., 2010)(Hwang et al., 2006).They also learned
from structural vibration conditions at compaction damage criterion,(Li et al.,
2002)(Tan et al.,2001) and given the minimum safety distance under different tamping
energy,(Fang et al., 2001)(Li et al.,2008)different geological conditions and different
building styles(Yang et al.,2008) (Shi et al.,2007) (Gao et al.,2004). Some scholars
have discussed the compaction process on the foundation reinforcement effect, but did
not analyze the impact of vibration compaction process(Yang et al.,2004)(Lv et
al.,2006)(Kong et al.,1998)(Tian et al.,2008). The reports about impact of dynamic
compaction vibration on the subgrade and pavement structure cannot be seem at home
and abroad.
By using FLAC 3D numerical calculation software, a road widening foundation
dynamic three-dimensional numerical model was built to analyze the dynamic
compaction vibration propagation law of the roadside foundation in the subgrade and
pavement structure. At the same time, the vibration acceleration of the key points and
the rammer subsoil dynamic pressure value were made as assessment indicators to
obtain the impact of foundation reinforcement effort with different parameters, as well
as the vibration law of subgrade and foundation. Based on the above analysis, the
construction parameters were optimized under the tamping energy of 1500KNm.
Besides this, the vibration law of widening highway subgrade and pavement under
roadside foundation dynamic compaction also had been given. Through the indoor
model test, the reliability of the numerical analysis was verified. This study provides a
reference for developing vibration control standards, as well as for research on
dynamic compaction vibration and shock absorption technology.
2.COMPACTION VIBRATION INDOOR MODEL TEST
Using the build indoor broaden foundation dynamic test model, dynamic
compaction fluctuation in the old subgrade was analyzed. Compared with the result of
dynamic compaction numerical analysis which has the same scale with the indoor
model, the reliability of the numerical analysis was verified.
2.1.Testequipment
By using test system (DH5923) with a magnetic vibration sensor (DH610), the
dynamic vibration impact on subgrade and foundation can be tested. By using static
and dynamic strain measurement system (DH3817) with the soil resistance strain
gauge (DYB-type), the reinforcement effect of foundation can be tested. Based on
similar ratio scale, circular rammer was selected as the mainly loading equipment.
The rammer diameter is 25cm and the weight is 30kg.
2.2.Model geometry design and arrangement of measuring points.
1:10 geometric scale was applied in the experimental model. By using electric
impact rammer(TRD-80), divided into 15 layers of compacted completed, compaction
degree was controlled over 93%. The acceleration sensors and soil pressure gauge
layout are shown in Figure 1 (Unit: in meter ).

foundation.
(2)Determination of best rammer drop height(rammer weight)
According to program II, the vibration acceleration of the key points (3# and 4#)
and the rammer subsoil dynamic pressure values serve as assessment indicators to
analyze vibration response and foundation reinforcement effect under different drop
height and 1500KN m tamping energy. The calculated values of vibration acceleration
amplitude at point 3 and 4 were extracted (corresponding to position of indoor model
test). The dynamic soil pressure at the depth of 5m was chosen. The calculation
results are shown in figure 5.

(5) When the height of subgrade is 5m, the tamping energy should keep under
1500KNm in the reinforcement of widening foundation.
