TITLE HYDRAULIC METHOD OF SOIL COMPACTION AND APPARATUS THEREFORE INVENTOR Raffaele MEO ABSTRACT The method and apparatus of water jetting is disclosed; namely, a method of saturating a clay backfill or the like with water so that the hydraulic action cooperates with the lumps of clay of the backfill and hence causes better adhesive compaction of the soil. It includes also, in another embodiment, a method of draining the soil. Further, an apparatus for accomplishing the methods includes a nozzle having a hollow interior and a plurality of orifices which communicate the interior to the exterior and a source of water supply for flowing water into the interior of the nozzle and hence out the orifices thereof at preferred predetermined pressures of 200 to 400 Kilo Pascals (KPa.) although it may be used throughout the range of 0 to 700 KPa.. The method include applying a force to the nozzle while water is eminating therefrom so that the nozzle penetrates into the soil to a predetermined depth and then slowly lifting the nozzle under controlled conditions while allowing the water to eminate from the orifices thereof so as to saturate the adjacent soil successively until the whole depth of the trench is saturated with water.
