3. Construction and function
3.1 Introduction
3.1.1 Basic information on soil compaction
Subsoil compaction is achieved by the constant effect of vertical impact forces.
These are created by a rotating exciter shaft. The unequal weight distribution of the
exciter shaft cross section displaces the exciter shaft and thus vibrates the drum.
These vibrations affect the compressed material vertically and compress it.
