the soil particles to pack together more tightly‚ therefore reducing its bulk volume. When this occurs in a soil that is saturated with water‚ water will be squeezed out of the soil. Consolidation is generally related to fine-grained soils such as silts and clays. Coarse-grained soils (sands and gravels) also undergo consolidation but at a much faster rate due to their high permeability. Saturated clays consolidate at a much slower rate due to their low permeability. Generally Compression of
