Analysis of Consolidation Test Data

The document analyzes data from a consolidation test. [1] It provides observations on the physical properties of the soil sample tested and measurements taken during the consolidation process over time. [2] Graphs are presented showing the relationship between solid density, void ratio, and effective stress. [3] Tables consolidate the test data and show how void ratio, height of voids, and log of effective stress change with the square root of time, indicating primary consolidation is occurring.
