coefficient of consolidation
coefficient of consolidation Factor governing the rate by which compression can occur in a particular soil. The rate and amount of compression in soils varies with the rate at which pore water is lost, and therefore depends on permeability. The coefficient is defined as: coefficient of permeability × (1 + initial void ratio)/coefficient of compressibility × density of water.
