26. A method of predicting a compaction characteristic needed to achieve a desired soil compaction of a soil, comprising the steps of:
-
establishing a soil characteristic of said soil;
comparing said soil characteristic with a soil characteristic of a previously compacted soil;
determining said predicted compaction characteristic of said soil in response to said comparison. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
