Summary:
This research has been conducted in order to evaluate the compression index of gypsiferous soil. A series of consolidation experimental tests with different percentages between 5% - 20% of gypsum added to the soil have been performed. From the results, it had been seen that, with an increasing percentage of gypsum, the compression index increased, with a maximum percentage of 30.4%.
