Compaction characteristics are the important parameter used to assess the indirect strength of component layers of the flexible pavement. Compaction characteristics control the strength of foundation layers of various soil structures. Laboratory compaction is the usual method in estimating the quality of soils used in civil engineering projects. Estimation of Compaction Characteristics from laboratory methods is time consuming and laborious. To assist the geotechnical engineers for quick assessment of compaction characteristics indirect methods like correlation models are useful. In this study 112 number of soil samples were tested for geotechnical characteristics like grain size distribution, gradation characteristics, consistency characteristics, and compaction characteristics. These were correlated and developed. Compaction models with R2 values.
