Consolidation/Swell Testing
One Dimensional Swell.
ASTM D 4546: Standard Test Methods for One-Dimensional Swell or Settlement Potential of Cohesive Soils
These test methods cover three alternative laboratory methods for determining the magnitude of swell or settlement of relatively undisturbed or compacted cohesive soil.
One Dimensional Consolidation.
ASTM D 2435: Standard Test Methods for One-Dimensional Consolidation Properties of Soils Using Incremental Loading
These test methods covers procedures for determining the magnitude and rate of consolidation of soil when it is restrained laterally and drained axially while subjected to incrementally applied controlled-stress loading.
