Almost all the earth dams constructed in the North Central region of Vietnam usually encounter problems related to the use of cohesive soils during dam construction under humid climate conditions with long and heavy rain periods. Therefore, it is very difficult to compact the soil to achieve the compaction factor of K≥0.97 required by the designer. In this paper, the authors present experimental results to determine the correlation between the compaction factor (K) with the mechanical behavior of the soils used for the earth dams in the North Central region of Vietnam. The research results are applied to select the reasonable value of compaction factor for the soils used in dam construction, which is suitable with the requirements of the design standard.
