I made this video a couple of years back for my CE 445: Advanced Geotechnical Engineering course. This course is an undergraduate third-semester Geotechnical Engineering course. I cover several topics that are typically seen in a Masters’ level Advanced Soil Mechanics Course.

In this video, we discuss several aspects of determining consolidation properties from laboratory data. Most notably, we explore an example of how to use Taylor's method in Excel. This topic is also often introduced in the first Soil Mechanics undergraduate course.
