Overconsolidation Ratio of Soil

This video investigates the overconsolidation ratio of soil. The overconsolidation ratio is an important concept to understand since it governs the behaviour of the soil. When a soil is loaded the deformations depend on the response, where overconsolidated soil typically yields a stiffer response than normally consolidated soil.

Understanding why soil is overconsolidated and how the pre-consolidation stress is determined, is therefore crucial for geotechnical engineers.
