Due to ease of compaction ensures high density and strength. Sub grade soils must have resistance to weathering therefore retain the desired support.

Therefore, the compaction coefficient of the subgrade material requires adjustment. According to the specifications, the compaction coefficient of sandy soils and fine-grained soils should not be less than 0.95.
