Share:
- 1The compression index is a meaningful parameter primarily used for normally consolidated clay soils.
- 2A higher compression index value indicates a larger resulting vertical settlement in a clay soil.
- 3The value of the compression index is a constant for a given soil along the virgin compression curve and is independent of the effective stress range.
- 4The value of the compression index is not a constant for a given soil and varies significantly with changes in the effective stress along the virgin compression curve.✓
Correct answer
The value of the compression index is not a constant for a given soil and varies significantly with changes in the effective stress along the virgin compression curve.
