Consolidation coefficient (Cv) is one of the key parameters in calculation of
soil settlement rate. This parameter can be determined using one-Dimensional
consolidation test. Prediction of Cv in fine- graded soils with different Liquid Limit
(LL) and Plasticity Index (PI) is also substantial to have a better understanding
of soil behavior. In the present study, two fine-graded soils encompassing a
broad range of liquid (LL) and plastic limits (PL) are selected and conventional
consolidation tests are conducted on these samples. The samples are tested using
their natural water content. It was observed that increasing liquid limit and
plasticity index decreases Cv.
