The mechanical process through which soil progressively changes volume in response to a change in pressure is known as soil consolidation. This occurs as a result of the soil's two phases, which are soil grains and pore fluid, typically groundwater. The primary causes of clays' compressibility are the escape of water from between soil grains and the shifting of particle positions to achieve higher densities. When analysing the stability of an embankment, footings, or column built on clayey soils, consolidation is crucial. Initial consolidation, primary consolidation, and secondary consolidation are the three parts that make up soil consolidation. A deeper comprehension of the subject will be provided by the presentation.
