Abstract
The geotechnical characteristics of compressible materials such as wood shavings
and hay, which are currently being used as fill in induced trenches, are not documented.
Characteristics such as compressibility and internal angle of friction were determined
through laboratory testing. Tests were performed on samples in both loose and
compacted states.
Results from the present study are compared with those determined for other
suitable compressible materials.
