CHAPTER TWO SOIL COMPRESSION SOIL COMPRESSION This refers to a process that describes the decrease in soil volume under an externally applied load. Soil compression can involve removal of air from soil pores called compaction or expulsion of water from soil pores called consolidation. Soil compaction is more usual in agricultural fields since soils are normally worked at unsaturated states. MEASUREMENT OF SOIL COMPRESSION Soil compression can be measured in the laboratory using uniaxial confined compression test in an oedometer, the triaxial compression cell, or direct shear test. Stone
