Abstract: The strong surface impact loads caused by dynamic compaction and construction operations have significant implications on the surrounding environment. Traditional research methods often simplify the impact load as a triangular load for calculation. However, this simplification does not consider the energy loss during impact, leading to overestimation in the calculation results. This paper is based on the measured data from an actual dynamic compaction project. After validating the numerical method’s feasibility, a parametric analysis of key influencing factors is conducted. The paper proposes a reasonable reduction coefficient to modify the current triangular loading model. The objective is to improve the accuracy and applicability of the model for dynamic compaction projects. The calculation results indicate that the magnitude of impact energy and the soil parameters of the site are critical factors influencing the impact vibration response. It is suggested that for impact energy levels categorized as low, medium, and high, the reduction coefficients for medium-soft soil can be set as 0.85, 0.6 and 0.5, respectively. For medium-hard soil, the reduction coefficients can be set as 0.9, 0.7 and 0.6 for the corresponding low, medium, and high energy levels.
