    Interpreting oedometer tests.

    Thanks both, With regards to the amount of data points, is it normal to only have five pressures? Thought this was standard - would you suggest testing more points? Sample depth was at 1.00 m bgl. Apologies if I didn't make it clear, what I am trying to say is how would I select the...

    Interpreting oedometer tests.

    Thanks for the reply EireChch, Results: If using say around 40 kPa for a lightly loaded structure (0.25 m2/MN) - this would return a rather high result. Although when using a heavier structure at (0.16 M2/MN) would return a lower settlement result. Would you propose to schedule tests a...

    Hi all, Just trying to clarify something. As the title suggests I am attempting to derive a characteristic Mv value for a cohesive soil using the oedometer test. I have read online, people sometimes average given Mv values for all incremental pressures and take an average. This seems way...
