Home Test Methods Soil Testing Oedometer / Consolidation Soil Test Equipment Oedometer / Consolidation Soil Test Equipment Uses a datalogger to take settlement readings from a hanging weight oedometer system. Alternatively, GDS produces an automated oedometer which completely automates one dimensional consolidation testing. The following soil test equipment can perform the Oedometer / Consolidation soil test:- Unsaturated Back Pressured Shear Box for oedometer / consolidation soil test Hydraulic Load Frames for Rock for oedometer / consolidation soil test 1000kN (1MN) / 2000kN (2MN) Static Compression Only Loadframe for oedometer / consolidation soil test Variable Direction Dynamic Cyclic Simple Shear for oedometer / consolidation soil test GDS Large Automated Direct Shear System (300mm) for oedometer / consolidation soil test Back Pressure Shearbox - High Pressure for oedometer / consolidation soil test Interface Shear Tester for oedometer / consolidation soil test Environmental Triaxial Automated System for oedometer / consolidation soil test GDS Shearbase System for oedometer / consolidation soil test GDS Back Pressured Shear Box for oedometer / consolidation soil test GDS Electro-Mechanical Dynamic Cyclic Simple Shear for oedometer / consolidation soil test GDS Constant Rate of Strain Cell (CRS in Load Frame type) for oedometer / consolidation soil test GDS Consolidation Testing System (Rowe and Barden Type) for oedometer / consolidation soil test GDS Bender Element System for oedometer / consolidation soil test Triaxial Testing System (Automated Stress Path type) for oedometer / consolidation soil test GDS Automatic Oedometer System for oedometer / consolidation soil test
