This lecture covers the principles and procedures of the oedometer test, focusing on the preparation of the sample, initial characteristics calculation, test execution, and data interpretation using the Taylor method. Students will learn about the consolidation process, saturation, and the graphical methods for determining soil properties. The lecture also includes practical examples and calculations for determining the coefficient of consolidation. Key concepts such as stress distribution, water content, and soil deformation are discussed in detail.
