Question: A 1 - D oedometer ( consolidation ) test data is given below. The consolidation pressure is selected as v ' = 1 0 0

A 1-D oedometer (consolidation) test data is given below. The consolidation pressure is selected
as v'=100kPa. Using the Casagrande's method and the data given below, plot "vertical
compression (d)- log time (t)" graph, and find the coefficient of consolidation, cv, of this soil,
at v'=100kPa. In your plot, the y-axis should be plotted with "increasing values in the
downward direction".
(Note: At the very beginning of the consolidation test, the initial height of the soil specimen
was measured as 19mm, and the vertical displacement (d) values given below, are cumulative
values, i.e., the measured vertical compression values include the vertical compressions that
occurred under the previous vertical pressures on the specimen. Therefore, the height of soil
specimen at any time "t" is equal to "initial height -d").
A 1 - D oedometer ( consolidation ) test data is
