ABSTRACT
Stress in soil formation are caused by construction activities, these developments generate compression of soil layer in construction industries, the rate compression generates deformation of soil, relocation of soil including expulsion of water or air through void space in the formation, there are tendencies of void ratio changing due to increment in impose loading, therefore the developed model from the derived governing equation integrated this parameter in the system base on it rate of significant effect it has on compression index of soil, the deposition of silty clay were observed in other to determined it rate of compression through these pressured variables in the system, thus measure their level of roles in the compressibility of soil through the impose load, compressive index can be predicted through this derived model, experts in soil engineering will definitely apply this concept as a tool in predicting the compression index of silty clay.
