Skempton’s Pore Pressure coefficients are A and B,

Where A → depends upon the degree of saturation and over consolidation ratio

B → depends upon the degree of saturation of soil

For over-consolidated soil, the value of A is negative.

For fully saturated soil, the value of B is 1

 Note: If there is no description about saturation then 

  A < 1 and B < 1
