Abstract
This paper discusses the volume change characteristics of compacted soil based on oedometer test results. After making specimens with different water contents and under different compaction loads, compression tests are conducted under both saturated and unsaturated conditions. The effects of the compaction conditions on the compression curves are discussed. It is confirmed that the yield stress and the water content are important factors when evaluating a compression curve, while dry density and suction are important factors when evaluating the yield stress.
