It is the ratio change in decrease void ratio to per unit Chang in increase pressure.
Soo, void ratio denoted volumetric strain.
And pressure as denoted stress.
Answer. Strain to stress.
Soo, void ratio denoted volumetric strain.
And pressure as denoted stress.
Answer. Strain to stress.

Change in voids ratio is considered as strain. The strain is nothing but change in the dimension per unit original dimension.

Co.eff of Compressibility is the reciprocal of young modulus.

The ratio of how much strain coming to soil for unit stress is known as compressibility.

Compressibility is the inverse of bulk modulus of elasticity that's why it is a strain to stress.

It is the ratio of change in void ratio to change in stress. As void ratio changes the volume Will also change.
Hence it is the ratio of volumetric strain to stress.
Hence it is the ratio of volumetric strain to stress.
