The compaction of a floor area is carried out in 250 mm thick layers. The hammer used for comipaction has the foot area of 0.05 m2. The energy developed per drop of the rammer is 50 kg-m. Assuming 40% more energy in each pass over the cornpacted area due to overlap, calculate the number of passes required to develop compactive energy equivalent to IS heavy compaction for each layer.
