This video explains how to estimate the compression index of soft soil using the data from oedometer consolidation tests. The compression index is used to estimate the amount of settlement that occurs in clay layer after the application of additional load. Watch the videos below to learn more about clay consolidation and how to estimate it in theory and practice:
