Consolidation
Consolidation test to determine the effect of different amounts of soil subsidence and its related parameter is used, in this test soil samples being in special ring then based within to Consolidation cells during the several stages of different stress (tension) and at every step soil samples subsidence to be measured and recorded at the end of the last stage of loading and after the end of the subsidence soil Samples from different steps of unloading and amount of Swelling in effect of unloading in several different tension read and recorded, Sample tests are usually done in a state of complete submergence.
In some types of consolidating practical test for modeling behavior of soil First, the natural moisture loads up to specific tension than in this tension, consolidate cell filled with water the sample is completely submerged and Continuation of consolidation test can be completed in these conditions.
