compaction[kəm′pak·shən] (computer science) A technique for reducing the space required for data storage without losing any information content. Also known as squishing. (engineering) Increasing the dry density of a granular material, particularly soil, by means such as impact or by rolling the surface layers. (geology) Process by which soil and sediment mass loses pore space in response to the increasing weight of overlying material. compaction1. The process of inducing a closer packing of the solid particles in freshly mixed concrete or mortar during placement by reducing the volume of voids, usually by vibration, centrifugation, tamping, or some combination of these actions. 2. A similar manipulation of other cementitious mixtures, soils, aggregate, or the like.compaction
compaction [kom-pak´shun] a complication of labor in twin births in which there is simultaneous full engagement of the leading fetal poles of both twins, so that the true pelvic cavity is filled and further descent is prevented.com·pac·tion (kom-pak'shŭn), The process following the third cleavage division of the zygote during which the blastomeres maximize their contact with each other by polarization and adhesion, forming a compact ball that is held together by tight junctions; compaction segregates the inner cells of the blastocyst that form the embryo from the outer cells that form the fetal part of the placenta. [L. compactio, fr. com-pingo, pp. com-pactus, to press together] com·pac·tion (kŏm-pakshŭn) Act of compression or squeezing together.

compactionThe process of compressing soil used to fill the low areas in a parcel of land. Developers typically obtain soil compaction reports before beginning development,but care must be taken to test more than the typical 6-foot depth.It is a common practice for excavating companies and unscrupulous landowners to use substandard fill material, such as tree trunks and other vegetation that will eventually decompose and reduce volume,and then properly compact only the top 6 feet of fill.Over time,the property will settle,possibly resulting in severe structural problems. compaction
