The one-dimensional consolidation test of a soil sample enables to ascertain the settlement characteristic over a given period of time. Loads are applied with progressive increases and the settlement values are read on a dial gauge. Tests are carried out on specimensprepared from undisturbed samples. Data obtained from these tests together with classification data and a knowledge of the soils loading history, enables estimates to be made of the behavior of foundations under load.
