Determination of the coefficient of consolidation in soft organic soils using ACONS

摘要

Determination of the coefficient of consolidationin soft organic soils using ACONS. To determine the coefficient of consolidation using oedometer laboratory tests usually two common methods are used, Casagrande and Taylor. In the paper, the ACONS apparatus and ClispStudio program is characterized. The methodology and the test results of determination coefficient of consolidation in soft organic soils are presented. In the paper, the laboratory test results obtained from Automatic CONsolidation System are analyzed and the relationships between coefficient of consolidation, void ratio, and vertical stress are also presented.
