Abstract
Settlement can cause significant damage to buildings and infrastructure constructed on highly compressible soils. The compression index (Cc) is a key parameter in estimating the magnitude of potential settlement. Empirical equations are commonly used to efficiently obtain Cc values, providing a practical alternative to time-consuming 1D oedometer testing. However, inaccurate Cc estimations can adversely affect design decisions, construction techniques, and subsequent repair strategies. This study compared Cc values derived from 1D oedometer tests with those calculated using empirical equations. Additionally, the suitability of seven empirical equations was assessed for soils in the Cikarang and Marunda regions. Analysis of 36 undisturbed samples revealed that each empirical equation produced varying results, indicating that physical parameters alone are insufficient for predicting soil compressibility. The findings suggest that, for the soils studied, Bowles' (1981) empirical equation with a correction factor of 0.491 yields the most accurate Cc estimates.
The compression index (Cc) is a key parameter for predicting consolidation settlement in fine-grained soils. In geotechnical practice, empirical correlations based on simple index properties are widely used as a fast and economical alternative to laboratory oedometer tests. However, most existing formulations were deve...

Settlement prediction is one of the most extensively studied problems in the field of geotechnical engineering. Analytical formulas for estimating soil compression and settlement that incorporate loading history through the compression index (Cc) often yield highly reliable results. Therefore, the compression index (Cc...

Preliminary estimation of the undrained shear strength of soft clays commonly relies on empirical or semi-empirical correlations incorporating soil index properties and stress history. In practical design situations where laboratory or field data are limited, such correlations are widely applied, although their reliabi...

Particle size distribution (PSD) is a fundamental soil property that strongly influences hydraulic, mechanical, and deformation behavior in geotechnical engineering. Accurate mathematical representation of PSD curves is therefore meaningful for reliable soil characterization and parameter estimation. This study evaluat...
