What is Soil Consolidation in Geotechnical Engineering about?

This document provides an overview of consolidation in soils. Key points include: 1) Consolidation is the compression of soil due to expulsion of water from voids when subjected to external loads, making it a drainage process. 2) The oedometer test is used to simulate the one-dimensional compression that occurs in soils under foundations by compressing soil samples between rigid plates while allowing drainage. 3) Data from oedometer tests is used to determine consolidation properties like compression i
