Coefficient of compressibility is defined as ratio of change of void ratio to change of effective stress. SO it essentially has units of inverse of pressure, i.e. pa-1

Strain by stress. Please, can anyone explain it?

Av (coefficients of compressibility) -----decrease in strain /stress.

av-----decrease strain /stress.
Here Av -coefficients of compressibility.

It is defined as the ratio of volumetric strain to the effective stress.
That means strain to stress.
That means strain to stress.

Change in void ratio is volumetric strain and change in stress is denoted as stress.

It is 1/k.
Where k=bulk modulus.
Where k=bulk modulus.

I am not getting this, please Can anyone explain?

Av = (e2-e1)/(stress2-stress1) but how strain vs stress?

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