The One-dimensional Consolidation test is used to determine the consolidation characteristics of soils of low permeability. The consolidation is rigidly constructed to ensure minimumframe distortion. The frame is designed to load the specimen through a yoke assembly and one of three alternative

beam ratios as 9:1 – 0:1 and 11:1. The beam is fitted with a counter balance weight and beam support check. The cell platform will accept the complete range of consolidation cells and is fitted with a central spigot to ensure accurate centering of the cell under the loading yoke. The fixed ring consolidation cells are manufactured from corrosion resistant materials and conform to the requirements  of the relevant standards. An integral water reservoir is incorporated in the cellwhich allows the specimen to be inundated when required.
