METHOD TO COMPACT SOIL AND DEVICE FOR ITS REALISATION Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC E02D3/12 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: method includes injection of a sealing substance, providing for damage of soil structure. Soil compaction is carried out by development of bodies in it with specified dimensions, shapes and properties from non-Newtonian liquid, which does not change the ratio of its components under load and preserves shape given to it with absence of external impact, which is injected by pressing into soil with impact loads applied to its surface. Soil is compacted by its displacement by external surface of developed bodies from spaces that they occupy. The device comprises a working element and a facility to apply impact load to it, made of a guide pipe, into which a rod is inserted as capable of movement along it and contact with the working element. The working element is made in the form of a rod with a conical point at the end and is inserted into the guide pipe as capable of limited longitudinal displacement in it. The conical point of the rod protrudes from the guide pipe. On the working element there is an assembly that excludes its drop-out from the guide pipe.

EFFECT: increased density of soil by introduction of non-Newtonian fluid into it in the mode of periodical impact loads and increased efficiency of a device due to elimination of the possibility to damage a well with a rod and deviation of the working element from the specified path.
