COMPRESSION COMPRESSION OF SOILS
Keywords:
deformations, consolidation, soil compression, compression curve, static sounding, dynamic soundingAbstract
Compression compression is a process associated with the decrease in the volume and settlement of soil layers under the action of external loads, which is especially important when determining deformations under foundations. In our study, compressibility indicators and odometer tests conducted under laboratory conditions were analyzed. Compression properties of various soils (sandy, clay, and loess) were also compared.
