This paper presents a study of the properties of soil–rock mixtures (SRM) prepared by the vibration compaction method. First, the results of laboratory experiments and field tests are compared to determine the reasonable parameters of the vibration compaction method (VCM) for soil–rock mixtures. The compaction characteristics, CBR, and resilient modulus of the laboratory-prepared soil–rock mixtures by the static pressure compaction method (SPCM) and vibration compaction method are compared. The effects of the soil to rock ratio and the maximum particle size and gradation on the compaction characteristic, resilient modulus and CBR of soil–rock mixtures prepared by the vibration compaction method are investigated. Finally, field measurements are subsequently conducted to validate the laboratory investigations. The results show that the reasonable vibration frequency, exciting force, and static surface pressure of the vibration compactor for soil–rock mixtures are recommended as 25 Hz, 5.3 kN, and 154.0~163.2 kPa, respectively. Soil–rock mixtures prepared by vibration compaction method has smaller optimum water content and gradation variation and larger density than specimens prepared by the static pressure compaction method, and the CBR and resilient modulus are 1.46 ± 0.02 and 1.16 ± 0.03 times those of specimens prepared by the static pressure compaction method, respectively. The ratio of soil to rock, followed by the maximum particle size, lead obvious influences on the properties of soil–rock mixtures. Moreover, the results show that the CBR and resilient modulus of soil–rock mixtures prepared by vibration compaction method have a correlation of 86.9% and 89.1% with the field tests, respectively, which is higher than the static pressure compaction method.
The soil–rock mixture (SRM) usually contains a large amount of gravels exceeding 40 mm in size, so the traditional laboratory method cannot directly test its maximum dry density (MD), making it difficult to evaluate the compaction degree of the SRM subgrade during construction. In this paper, a numerical simulation method of the vibration compaction method for the SRM (NSM-VCM) was developed based on a discrete element method (DEM) and CT scanning. Based on the established NSM-VCM, the MD of SRMs with a maximum particle size greater than 40 mm (SRM-G) was investigated comprehensively. Based on the results of laboratory tests and the NSM-VCM, a predictive model and determination method of the MD of SRM-G were developed. Finally, field measurements were conducted to validate the laboratory investigations. The results showed that the maximum error between the MD of the SRM obtained from the NSM-VCM and the laboratory test was 0.1%, indicating that the established NSM-VCM has high predictive accuracy. The MD of SRM-G increases with an increasing maximum particle size and dosage of giant granules. Only when the soil–rock ratio is appropriate can SRM-G form a better skeleton dense structure, which is important for improving the MD and mechanical strength. The maximum error between the estimated MD and the measured MD from the field site is 1.3%, which indicates that the prediction model and method for SRM-G established in this paper have high precision. These results address the issue that the MD of SRM-G cannot be determined in a laboratory.
