How to Estimate the Coefficient of Consolidation Using the Root and Log time Methods

This tutorial explains the difference between the log and root time methods and uses examples to explain how they work. It is important to know each method as well as the difference so that you wont mistakes in obtaining the correct value of the coefficient of consolidation. You will then use this coefficient to estimate the time of consolidation. Watch this video to learn how to conduct a consolidation (oedometer) test    • Consolidation (Oedometer) Test on Cla...
