Compression index and coefficient of consolidation are two most important parameters in obtaining the consolidation characteristics of cohesive soil. Considerable time and effort are required to obtain these parameters from the oedometer test. Therefore, this study aims to correlate these two parameters with the index properties. Five remoulded samples are tested for their physical properties as well as their consolidation characteristics. The results show good relationship was obtained for the liquid limit and the compression index while the coefficient of consolidation is best correlated with the plastic limit. Multiple regression analysis was performed to improve the prediction. Liquid limit is best coupled with specific gravity to estimate the compression index while plastic limit and plastic index can be used to best predict the coefficient of consolidation.
