Soft oedometer tests
Status: 10.12.2024
In a soft oedometer the axial stress and the radial stress are measured in order to calculate the ratio K0 = sigmar/sigmaa (coefficient of earth pressure at rest). The aluminium oedometer can be used to carry out tests on cohesive and non-cohesive soils, i.e.
- oedometer tests with incremental loading (IL) including primary loading, unloading and reloading, creep test, swelling tests
- oedometer tests with displacement control
- oedometer tests with load control
- oedometer tests with cyclic loading
