Cc= 0.009(LL-10) ; for undisturbed soil of medium sensitivity.
Cc= 0.007 (LL-7) ; for remoulded soil of low sensitivity.
Cc= 0.4(e-0.25); for undisturbed soil of medium sensitivity, where e= initial void ratio.
Cc= 0.007 (LL-7) ; for remoulded soil of low sensitivity.
Cc= 0.4(e-0.25); for undisturbed soil of medium sensitivity, where e= initial void ratio.

Yes, correct @Abhisek.
The relation is: Cc = 0.007(LL-7).
The relation is: Cc = 0.007(LL-7).

Cc = 0.009(LL-10) for undisturbed clays.
Cc = 0.007(LL-10) for remolded Clays.
There are many other correlations for Compression Index which involve the in-situ void ratio, and in situ water content.

Compression index describes variation of void ratio as a function of the change of effective stress plotted in the logarithmic scale.
It therefore represents deformative characteristics of overconsolidated soil.
Typical range of compression index is 0.1 to 10.

What's the difference of 0.007(LL-7) and 0,007(LL-10)?

@Chaudhary.
The correct relation is Cc = 0.007(WL-10).
The correct relation is Cc = 0.007(WL-10).

@Abhishek.
The correct relation is Cc = 0.007(WL-7) for remoulded clay.
The correct relation is Cc = 0.007(WL-7) for remoulded clay.
