Influence of Compacting Rate on the Properties of Compressed Earth Blocks

Table 4

Drip test results.

Compaction rate (mm/min)	Average depth of pit (mm)	Erodability index ()	Rating
1	6.2	3	Erosive
5	7.0	3	Erosive
10	7.3	3	Erosive
15	8.2	3	Erosive

1 = 0 (nonerosive), 2 = 0 < 5 (slightly erosive), 3 => 5 ≤ 10 (erosive), and 4 => 10 (very erosive).
