Abstract The settlement of a compaction plate resting on the surface of rubble-mound and subjected to a vibrating vertical load can be characterized by a transient amplitude and a plastic settlement. As long as the maximum imposed load does not exceed the bearing capacity of the rubble-mound, plastic settlement will approach an ultimate value and essentially steady-state vibration will ensue. For the settlement behavior by vibro-compaction, most laboratory experiments were conducted on laterally confined samples with loads over the full surface area or on samples placed on a vibrating table. In the field, the loads cover only a small fraction of the surface area. In this study, crushed stones are loaded with the same as field condition. According to the vibro-compaction experiments on crushed stone, it was found that approximately 90% of total settlement occur within 2 minutes and plastic settlement increases with increasing cyclic stress levels including static and dynamic stress. A compaction equation on which the number of load cycles, amplitude of plate, settlement, width of plate, and cyclic stress are related each other is proposed.
