Consol

This document summarizes the results of a consolidation test on a remolded sample of light gray silt. Over the course of the test, the sample was subjected to increasing loads from 0.05 to 18 kg and the resulting deflection, void ratio, and other measurements were recorded. The sample initially had a void ratio of 0.7069 which decreased to 0.2928 under the highest load, indicating consolidation occurred as the void space decreased under pressure. A graph shows the trend of decreasing void ratio with increasing effective stress.
