Organic Material and Soil Compressibility

Journal of the Geotechnical Engineering Division, 1980
Compression tests on model organic soils have shown that higher organic fractions significantly increase soil compressibility. Precise control over organic content, fiber type and size, and mineral type in the model soil were made possible using kaolinite-fiber mixtures.

Compressibility characteristics of soils

Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 2005
Compressibility characteristics of soils forms one of the important soil parameters required in design considerations. Compression index, C c , which is the slope of the linear portion of void ratio, e vs. logaritham of effective pressure p(log p) relationship, is extensively used for settlement determination.

Reconsidering Secondary Compressibility of Soil

International Journal of Civil Engineering, 2016
The effects of effective stress and void ratio on the secondary compressibility of the sandy and clayey soils were investigated in this study. The coefficient of secondary compression of Ottawa sand in single stage and stepwise loading tests increases with effective vertical stress while that of saturated kaolinite decreases with effective vertical ...
