This test determines the rate and magnitude of consolidation of a soil specimen restrained laterally and subjected to a number of successive increments of vertical loads.
The oedometer consists of a rigid aluminium alloy frame to avoid any distortion under load. The lever arm assembly is supported in precision self-aligning bearings and has three hanger positions for 9:1, 10:1 and 11:1 ratio. The oedometers fit with linear potentiometric transducers, can be connected to Data acquisition unit.
The consolidation test can also be automatically performed with the Automatic Computerized oEdometer.
