Abstract The consolidation properties of underground soil are very important parameter that is necessary for ensuring the stability of structures, designing high-rise foundations, river bank protection, dams, river erosion work, predicting settlement behavior, evaluating slope stability, etc. This research paper presents an experimental investigation and analysis of the consolidation properties of soil in the Muchibari Regulator, located in the district of Sunamgonj. The study aims to understand the consolidation behavior of the soil in this specific area, which is crucial for the design and construction of infrastructure projects. The research has involved conducting consolidation tests on soil samples collected from the site, followed by data analysis to determine the soil's consolidation parameters. The results obtained provide valuable insights into the settlement characteristics of the soil, contributing to the geotechnical understanding of the Muchibari Regulator and similar areas. It provides a framework for understanding how soils settle and deform under load over time. By understanding consolidation characteristics, engineers can make informed decisions in geotechnical engineering projects. The ASTM D2435 standard specifies the procedure for performing the consolidation test using consolidometers. Two important parameters are the coefficient of consolidation (Cv) and the coefficient of volume compressibility (mv) which are described in Karl von Terzaghi’s consolidation theory. The experimental soil data from the location of Muchibari Regulator is calculated by the equation and graphically represented. For a maximum applied load of 10.112 kgcm-2, the compression index (Cc) is 0.22045. Generally, a Cc value less than 0.1 is considered suitable for stable construction. It's important to note that this value can vary depending on the specific requirements and regulations in different regions.
