Consolidation Test 4. Determine the weight of the consolidation ring (147,?. 5. Place the soil specimen in the consolidation ring. Use the wire saw to trim the specimen flush with the top and bottom of the consolidation ring. Record the size of the specimen. 6. Determine the weight of the consolidation ring and the specimen (WO. 7. Saturate the lower porous stone on the base of the consolidometer. 8. Place the soil specimen in the ring over the lower porous stone. 9. Place the upper porous stone on the specimen in the ring. 10. Attach the top ring to the base of the consolidometer. 11. Add water to the consolidometer to submerge the soil and keep it saturated. In the case of the fixed ring consolidometer, the outside ring (at-tached to the top of the base) and the stand pipe connection attached to the base should be kept full with water. This needs to be done for the entire period of the test.

METHODOLOGY:
The methodology of consolidation test consists of following steps-
a) Specimen preparation
) Preparation of consolidometer and soil assembly for test
c) Consolidation test
a) Specimen preparation: On the onset of experiment soil specimen was
equired to be prepared. Undistu
ed natural soil specimen was at
first trimmed to fit in Shelby tubes. Shelby tube sample was little
(about ¼ inch to ½ inch) larger in diameter than specimen diameter.
Some portion of excess soil, which had been trimmed in a moisture can,
was collected to find out moisture content and then to determine
specific gravity of soil solids, Gs. Then weight of consolidating ring
(W1) was determined. After this, the specimen was then placed in ring,
trimmed to flush...
