SCOPE Soils subjected to compression loads, decrease in volume (consolidation) and this is due to water and air in the voids starting to escape.  Objectives

General:  Determine the speed and degree of settlement that a sample of saturated clay soil will experience, as well as some increases in load or pressure, in a given time interval.

Materials  Unaltered sample, which is contained in a shelby tube.  Blade.  Balance  Vernier calibrator.  Ring consolidation  Spatula and containers for moisture testing.  2 porous metal stones  Fixed ring consolidation capsule.

 Consolidometer.  10. Loads of 1.5, 3, 6 and 12 Kg.

Preparation of the sample/ Proccess

TEST  Consolidation coefficient for a load of 1/8 [Kg / cm2]:

 Consolidation coefficient for a load of 1/4 [Kg / cm2]

 Consolidation coefficient for a load of 1/2 [Kg / cm2]

 Consolidation coefficient for a load of 1 [Kg / cm2]

 Consolidation coefficient for a load of 2 [Kg / cm2]

 Consolidation coefficient for a load of 4 [Kg / cm2]

 Consolidation coefficient for a load of 8 [Kg / cm2]
