Consolidation

IS: 2720 (Part 15) 1986, IS: 12287-1988, BS: 1377, ASTM D2435
Consolidation of clay deposits leads to distress in buildings such as cracks and failures. Consolidation is the reduction of volume of soil due to expulsion of water from its pore space caused by sustained loading. This phenomenon is time dependent. The one-dimensional consolidation test performed on an undisturbed sample of clay is useful for understanding the history of the soil deposit. The test results can be used for calculating the settlement of structures built on clayey soil.

The standard outfit comprises fixed ring type of consolidometer cell for testing specimens 60 mm dia x 20 mm thick, but the unit is so designed that specimens of varying sizes from 50 mm dia to 100 mm dia can also be tested. Besides, the same loading unit can be used with floating ring consolidometer cells, which can be supplied at extra cost. The standard outfit is supplied with a set of weights to give a total pressure of 10 kg/cm2 (besides a seating load of 0.05 kg/cm3 on the specimen), but an additional set of weights are required to reach the full capacity of 20 kg/cm2. The necessary accessories to perform the permeability test of the 'Varying Head' type can also be provided at extra cost. The outfit is also available as three-gang or six-gang in which three/six consolidometers are mounted on a single frame. The consolidation may be measured by the conventional dial gauges or using the transducers and electronic readout unit in Digital Modals.

De-Aired Water Apparatus

For the removal of dissolved air from distilled water to be used in the laboratory testing of soils. It can also be utilised in the field for preparation of de-aired water required for flushing piezometers. The apparatus consists of a Deaerator tank with a capacity of 7 liters. It has an in-built motorised agitator. A vacuum pump is provided to create vacuum in the water chamber while the water is agitated. All control valves and switches are contained in the front panel. System is suitable to operate on 220 V, Single Phase, AC Supply.
Optional Accessories (for storing de-aired water in Pressurised tank to take out to the field)
Pressurised Storage Tank, capacity 10 litters, with Regulator, Valves and Pressure Gauge
Water Pump
