Soils: investigation and testing - Oedometer test - Part 1: Compressibility test on quasi-saturated fine-grained materials with incremental loading.
This document concerns the laboratory determination of the compressibility characteristics of a saturated fine-grained soil sample placed in a cell preventing any radial movement during incremental loading. It describes the apparatus, sets out the test procedure, provides the methods for calculating the various parameters and specifies the results to be reported.
