About This Product
Consolidation tests record how a saturated soil specimen settles as the load on it is increased in steps. The specimen is trimmed with a cutting collar into a ring, placed between porous stones in a water trough and loaded, and its settlement is measured over time. The results show how much and how quickly a clay compresses, which students use to estimate the settlement of soil under foundations and embankments.
