Soil Compaction Models<br />

From Figure 74 a close agreement can be seen between the measured and the predicted<br />

increase in soil density for the data from Antille (2006). The accuracy is within an absolute<br />

error of +/- 3 %. The linear regression line shows that the increase is underpredicted by<br />

1.5% compared to the 1:1 line, however, linearity of the data is confirmed with an R 2 of<br />

0.95.<br />

Figure 73: Measured (■) and predicted (♦) soil displacement for tyres on loose (1.2<br />

g/cm 3 ) and dense (1.6 g/cm 3 ) soil conditions. The least significant differ-<br />

ence (LSD) at 95 % is also shown<br />

Data from the medium density was used to derive the VCL parameters and it is capable of<br />

predicting soil density increase for different initial DBD’s. Thus this justifies the concept<br />

of a VCL for a soil at given moisture content in general and in particular for this soil type.<br />
