Popis: The paper presents experimental investigations of the compaction process of loose material in the form of sawdust. These were compacted in the sleeve-punch assembly adapted for installation on a strength testing machine. Sawdust was compacted with a force suitable to obtain the desired compressive stress in the sample cross-section. The effect of the composition of the compacted sample was investigated by adding pine sawdust to 50% of the total sample's weight. The experimental compaction process was simulated by building its numerical model using the Drucker-Prager-Cap model. Obtained results of experimental tests carried out on a strength testing machine allowed to establish a numerical model of the sawdust compaction process in the Abaqus program and to assess the possibility of using the Drucker-Prager-Cap model for numerical simulation of compaction process of loose materials in the form of sawdust.
