Compaction includes removal of air voids while

Consolidation includes removal of excess water.

Answer / viplava

consolidation:compression of the soil mass due to expulsion of water from the voids under steady, static,long term load.
compaction:compression of the soil mass due to expulsion of air from the voids under short duration, moving or vibratory loads.

Answer / kumar

compaction is done by heavy machinery which provides vibration and tightens the soil.
consolidation is done by allowing water over soil and removing the air voids

Answer / priyanka

Compaction is an artificial process which is done to increase the density of the siol to improve its properties before it is part to any use.

Consolidation is a process which occurs in nature when thee saturated soil depositd or subjected ti static loads caused by weight of buildings and othe structures.

Answer / mahendran b,cccl,cadbury

A distinction should be made between compaction techniques for new land and consolidation techniques for loose soil. Compaction is used for coarse-grain soil (sand) and can be done with smooth rollers, HEIC, or dynamic impact or rapid impact compactors or vibroflotation. When the soil is too fine, or too silty, replacement methods are used. These can be sand poles, grind poles and mixing with cement or other suitable materials that render the soil almost immediately ready for use. Other techniques are used exclusively for expediting consolidation of loose soils. These include vertical drains, sand drains and a system known variously as BeauDrain, IFCO or PTD, as well as vacuum consolidation, all methods in which soil improvement takes a longer period of time.

Answer / amjad ali

Compaction: To Remove the air voids by using heavy machinery, vibrating layer by layer.
Consolidation. its the practice of providing of water showering to remove the air voids and hallow spaces from soil.
Basically the compaction and consolidation are two are completing together at sides for the best load bearing capacity.

Answer / vamsi krishna

compaction is by mechanical process,almost it is unsaturated.

consolidation is under the application of static loading,it is completely saturated.
