Summary
The
Compressibility of soil
refers to its
Ability to decrease in volume
under an
Applied load
and is a critical factor in assessing
Ground Settlement
and
Stability for construction projects
. It is influenced by the soil's composition, structure,
Moisture Content
, and the
Magnitude of the applied stress
, and helps determine the
Type of foundation
needed for
Safe construction
.
