Department of Civil Engineering Soil Mechanics Laboratory CONSOLIDATION TEST- (OEDOMETER TEST) (IS PART) Reaffirmed-THEORY: When a compressive load is applied to soil mass, a decrease in its volume takes place, the decrease in volume of soil mass under stress is known as compression and the property of soil mass pertaining to its tendency to decrease in volume under . IIT Gandhinagar, Soil Mechanics Lab Page 1 INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY GANDHINAGAR Department of Civil Engineering Soil Mechanics Laboratory CONSOLIDATION TEST- (OEDOMETER TEST) (IS PART) Reaffirmed THEORY: When a compressive load is applied to soil mass, a decrease in its volume takes place, the decrease in volume of soil mass.  · Engineering Properties of Soils Based on Laboratory Testing Prof. Krishna Reddy, UIC Consolidation Test Data Sheets Date Tested: Octo Tested By: CEMM Class, Group A Project Name: CEMM Lab Sample Number: GBST’’ Visual Classification: Gray silty clay Before test Consolidation type = Floating type.

The testing procedure to quantify the critical soil properties associated with soil consolidation is the Oedometer Test. The term “Oedometer” derives from the Ancient Greek language and means “to swell”. The test is one of the most commonly conducted, and important, laboratory tests in geotechnical engineering. ASTM D Standard Test Methods for One-Dimensional Consolidation Properties of Soils Using Incremental Loading; Method. Weigh the empty consolidation ring with the glass plate. Measure the height (h) of the ring and its inside diameter (d). Extrude the soil sample from the sampler, generally thin-walled Shelby tube.
