- 2Compaction is an instantaneous phenomenon, whereas consolidation is a time-dependent phenomenon.
- 3In a soil compaction test, maximum dry density and optimum moisture content are obtained, while in a soil consolidation test, the coefficient of consolidation is obtained.
- 4Volume reduction in compaction is due to reduction in volume of air voids, while volume reduction in consolidation is due to the removal of soil particles.✓
Correct answer
Volume reduction in compaction is due to reduction in volume of air voids, while volume reduction in consolidation is due to the removal of soil particles.
