Abstract
A new method for deriving the coefficient of consolidation from oedometer test results is proposed, based on a velocity time graph. The method requires no construction, and is shown to be unaffected by imperfections in the initial and final stages of settlement. The method is used to examine typical behaviour of several natural soils, including normally consolidated clays, moderately and heavily over consolidated clays, and sensitive clays (a).
