The process by which the porosity of a given form of sediment is decreased as a result of its mineral grains being squeezed together by the weight of overlying sediment or by mechanical means.
Compaction, Objectives for Compaction, Effects of Compaction, Applicability of Compaction Equipment, Standard Reference, and Compaction Energy
Standard Proctor Test, Compaction Curve, Analysis of Compactive effort, and Factors affecting compaction.
This lecture presents a brief of compaction highlighting the various aspects of the compaction process in detail.
Consolidation is a process by which soils decrease in volume. According to Karl von Terzaghi "consolidation is any process which involves a decrease in water content of saturated soil without replacement of water by air." ... When this occurs in a soil that is saturated with water, water will be squeezed out of the soil
