The compaction of soil can be defined as an increase in its dry density and the closer packing of solid particles or reduction in porosity. Compaction can result from natural causes, including rainfall impact, soaking, internal water tension and the like. Artificial compaction occurs under the download forces of machines which are usually of short duration in the case of many vehicles. Within the framework of this paper, an original study is presented for the compaction of soil analysis using the finite element method in the case of an U-445 tractor and a SM-445 bulldozer.
