Upload NowAs the consolidation settlement depends on both the initial and final stress levels and because there is significant difference in consolidation settlement due to virgin compression and re-compression, stress history has a significant effect on compression of clays. Influence of Stress Cycle: The relation between soil compression and effective stress is not unique even for […]

How to Conduct Consolidation Test of Soil? | Soil Engineering
Article shared by :
Consolidation test consists of applying the pressure on a thin soil specimen in increments and keeping each pressure increment for sufficient time until the consolidation of the soil specimen and measurement of the vertical deformation of the soil specimen due to expulsion of pore water. All consolidation parameters including av, mv, Cc, cv etc. can […]
