English term

modulus compressibility

English to Dutch Science Construction / Civil Engineering
The building ground must be level [...] with a minimum carrying capacity of [...] and a MODULUS COMPRESSIBILITY (Steifezahl) of 40 MN/m2.

Could it be "modulus van de compressibiliteit"? I know it is not "compressiemodulus" because "compressibiliteit" and"compressie" seem to be different things as mentioned under the following links:

Note from asker:
I have used "samendrukbaarheidsmodulus". Thank you everyone for your help!
Peer comment(s):
neutral Stefan Blommaert : beter "modulus" gebruiken; samendrukbaarheidscoëfficiënt wordt eerder gebruikt bij de samendrukbaarheid van gassen...maar wordt wel degelijk af en toe zo gebruikt...google op s.modulus en je zult zien dat er bijna alleen grondtechniek uitkomt

je hebt gelijk, was ook nog vroeg, maar ik stoor me aan "modulus", maar dat is persoonlijk.
neutral solejnicz : This is rather the Dutch translation of "compressibility factor".

goed, maar i.i.g. is "compressiemodulus" weerlegd.

I also think it is very likely that "samendrukbaarheidsmouluus" is the correct term here. Actually Stefan Blommaert has given the answer, so no need to post it separately.
