Abstract
This paper presents the results of a study to determine the cost-efficient compaction method in relation to geotechnical properties for the compaction of coal waste embankments, utilizing different compaction methods, equipment passes, and lift thickness, a cost efficient compaction method is suggested. The findings obtained in this study supply information for the compaction of coal waste embankments in the coal mining industry.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
