About this test
Enter two points from the straight part of the e–log p curve and your site stresses to get Cc, the settlement and the time for 90% consolidation.
How it's calculated
- Cc = Δe / log(p2/p1)
- S = Cc·H/(1+e0)·log[(p0+Δp)/p0]
- cv = 0.848·Hdr²/t90
Results are calculated from the values you enter using standard formulas. Download the PDF to keep a record. For certified testing, design or construction, talk to our engineers.
