What is Soil Compression and Measurement Techniques about?
Soil compression refers to the decrease in soil volume under an applied load. It can involve removing air (compaction) or water (consolidation) from soil pores. Soil compression can be measured using laboratory tests that apply loads to soil samples, like oedometer or triaxial tests. The chapter describes measuring soil compression using a simple apparatus that loads a soil cylinder on a compression machine. It discusses deriving equations for soil bulk density, void ratio, and compression index at differen
