This Method describes a procedure for determining the rate and magnitude of consolidation of soil when it is restrained
laterally and loaded and drained axially, using either manual loading or automated equipment. It gives the most reliable
results when used on saturated clay soils.
Scope
This Method describes a procedure for determining the rate and magnitude of consolidation of soil when it is restrained laterally and loaded and drained axially, using either manual loading or automated
equipment. The Method gives the most reliable results when used on saturated clay soils, which the consolidation theory applies.
NOTE The result of any test reached in accordance with this procedure requires interpretation in relation to the nature of the soil and the way in which the specimen was obtained and prepared.
