Some cover crops are good at breaking up compacted layers of soil.

The most important are the spongy layer and the compact layer.

Due to the shape of the minerals, the water travels in between the compacted layer, thus "swelling" the clay-bed into mound-like features.

Slow aggregation will lead to a more compact layer, while fast aggregation to a more porous one.

Once there were piles, but they had slipped as piles do, forming this dense compacted layer that was now turning into something like peat.

Fire protection-Thin layers of buckypaper can significantly improve fire resistance due to the efficient reflection of heat by the dense, compact layer of CNT or carbon fibers.

In many neurons, a myelin sheath, rich in cholesterol, since it is derived from compacted layers of Schwann cell membrane, provides insulation for more efficient conduction of impulses.

Molding a thin layer of carbon fibers significantly improves fire resistance of polymers or thermoset composites because a dense, compact layer of carbon fibers efficiently reflects heat.

The fill is made by the "compacted layer method" where a layer of fill is spread then compacted to specifications, the process is repeated until the desired grade is reached.

He understood the importance of good drainage and surfaced his roads with "a compact layer of small, broken stones with sharp edges", rather than the naturally rounded stones traditionally used in European road building.
