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.

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.

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.
Cc = 0.007(LL-10) for remolded Clays.

@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.

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

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

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