Abstract

Consolidation test for soil is a very common test to find compression parameter in geotechnical investigation. Terzaghi invented the theory of consolidation in 1925 and the test became geotechnical standard in 1945. Since then, the theory and mechanical in this test has no meaningful improvement, whereas due to the rise in numbers of high-rise buildings, the foundation depth requirements are increasing. In consolidation test, deeper foundation means higher pressure required to find the preconsolidation pressure (pc). Meanwhile, the conventional equipment is still very popularly used in commercial geotechnical laboratories causing the result from consolidation less accurate. This paper will discuss the impact in consolidation test using conventional equipment for deep- layered soil and how to improve the result of consolidation test.
