TO EXAMINE THE PROPERTIES AND THE RATE OF SETTLEMENT OF PURE KAOLINITE CLAY BY USING OEDOMETER IN 1-DIMENSIONAL CONSOLIDATION Abstract The aim of this experiment was to explain how to use two type of oedometer to calculate compression index (Cc) and re-compression index (Cr)‚ measuring the pre-consilidation (s’vc)‚ and to predict the coefficient of consolidation (Cv). The soil used in this experiment is Kaolinite clay‚ which has Cv = 8.69 sqm/year at 300 kPa (hydraulic result)
