CONSOLIDATIONTEST $(25$p$)$

$($a$)$ Explain the test procedure by aketching a lever type consolidometer $($fromt loading$)$ and labelling the

parts on it$.$ Dry mass of specimen $128gr,$ height of specimen at the beginning of the test $25\mathrm{.}4mm.$

A: $30\mathrm{.}68c{m}^2$ Gs:$2\mathrm{.}75$ pw: $1\frac{g}{c}{m}^3$

i$.$ Calculate the $e$ and plot

ii$.$ Mark the primary consolidation and secondary compression regions on the deformation$-$log

graph.
