English translation: compression test

Russian term or phrase: компрессионного сжатия
Hello fellow linguists,
I wonder if anyone knows of how might be best to translate the following?
It is a type of geo-technical test performed on soil.
If you look it up, you get 'compressed compression' testing, which to me does not sound right.
It is listed under an appendix within this phrase:
Испытания грунта методом компрессионного сжатия

Other methods include: 'Испытания грунта методом трёхосного сжатия', which I understand to be 'soil testing using triaxial compression', which is why I am thinking that 'compression' is the right choice of noun but I am then not sure about what the adjective that precedes it could be.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Many thanks in advance!

I understand компрессионное сжатие is the same as первичное сжатие

  -> we are not translating первичное, а компрессионное. I stick by my initial finding. See discussion

An oedometer test is a kind of geotechnical investigation performed in geotechnical engineering that measures a soil's consolidation properties.

Soil compaction
Test methods in laboratory
Soil compactors are used to perform test methods which cover laboratory compaction methods used to determine the relationship between molding water content and dry unit weight of soils. Soil placed as engineering fill is compacted to a dense state to obtain satisfactory engineering properties such as, shear strength, compressibility, or permeability. In addition, foundation soils are often compacted to improve their engineering properties. Laboratory compaction tests provide the basis for determining the percent compaction and molding water content needed to achieve the required engineering properties, and for controlling construction to assure that the required compaction and water contents are achieved. Test methods such as EN 13286-2, EN 13286-47, ASTM D698, ASTM D1557, AASHTO T99, AASHTO T180, AASHTO T193, BS 1377:4 provide soil compaction testing procedures.

neutral  Cornelius Gillen: compression test seems to me to be the standard term

  -> Thank you, congillen. This is not a test on solid objects such as metal rods but on soils. Even Russian texts refer to compaction.
