Abstract
SYNOPSIS A consolidation test method with constant rates of loading is proposed as an alternative of the standard consolidation test, conventionally used in the laboratory. In the proposed method, a consolidation test is completed between 2 and 3 hours, and the settlement and base pore pressure are automatically measured and recorded. The results obtained from it always show good agreement with those from the conventional test. Test procedures and the theoretical background to the experimental data are described in this paper.
