Compaction behavior of ground subjected to repeated loading by a traveling wheel was anaiyzed for shallow sand laycr. Displacement of soil particles was measured as the movement of marlters, arranged between the sand layer and the transparent sidewall or soil bin. Soil particles represented elliptical trajectory in the processes with approach and passage of the wheel. The displacement of the soil particles reduced exponentially with the number of repetition of the wheel traveling. The volumetric strain, which was calculated from the displacements, was gradually increased with respect to the repetition number. The magnitude of the volumetric strain at high slippage was grater than that at low one. Likewise, the changes of the shear strain also showed the same tendency as that of the volumetric one. Therefore, it was clarified that the soil compaction due to the wheel traveling is closely related to the shear deformation of ground, i.e. the dilatancy effect.
