Welcome to the image collection dedicated to the phenomenon of compaction! This term encompasses a wide range of processes and phenomena that occur in both nature and technology, and is a fundamental concept for understanding the interactions of materials of varying natures.

Compaction can be observed in many different contexts: from geological processes related to the formation of earth layers to technological methods used in construction and manufacturing. In this collection, you will find photographs illustrating the diversity of forms of compaction—from tightly interlocked stones in natural formations to uniform textures of flooring in construction sites.

The physical characteristics of compaction depend on the context. For example, in nature, this may be expressed in the form of compact layers of soil where substances concentrate under the influence of gravity and other factors. These layers can have various compositions, from sandstones to clays, forming unique landscapes and ecosystems.

In engineering, compaction is often associated with processes used to enhance the strength and stability of materials. Here, you can see photographs of dense asphalt coverings, concrete structures, and other elements where compaction plays a key role in durability and reliability.

You will also find examples of compaction in construction: how building foundations are established, how road surfaces are compacted, and even how soils are compacted in agriculture to increase their yield. Each image in this collection allows for a deeper understanding of how compaction affects our world, from natural landscapes to urban structures.

Whether you are a professional in architecture, geology, or simply a photography enthusiast, this collection will offer you unique visual examples illustrating the importance of compaction in society and habitat.
