1. Soil that has been mechanically compacted or naturally compressed to increase its density and reduce voids, improving its bearing capacity and stability for construction purposes
The foundation was built on compressed soil to ensure structural stability.
A fundação foi construída sobre solo compactado para garantir estabilidade estrutural.
2. Earth material that has undergone reduction in volume through application of force or weight
Compressed soil provides better load-bearing capacity than loose soil.
O solo compactado oferece maior capacidade de carga do que o solo solto.
