Over-consolidated clays have been subjected to a greater load in the past than they are currently experiencing, and as a result, they are more resistant to compression. Normally consolidated clays, on the other hand, have not been subjected to a significant load in the past, and as a result, they are more easily compressed.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option A: The coefficient of compressibility of an over-consolidated clay is less than that of a normally consolidated clay. This is incorrect because over-consolidated clays are more resistant to compression than normally consolidated clays.<\/li>\n<li>Option B: The coefficient of compressibility of an over-consolidated clay is greater than that of a normally consolidated clay. This is correct because over-consolidated clays are more resistant to compression than normally consolidated clays.<\/li>\n<li>Option C: The coefficient of compressibility is constant for any clay. This is incorrect because the coefficient of compressibility is a function of the soil type and the stress history of the soil.<\/li>\n<li>Option D: None of the above.
