Figure 1.
The diagram depicts a pressure machine designed for soil specimen testing, featuring a vertical structure with several components. At the top, a pressure machine connects to a controlled pressure gauge. Below, a Piston operates within the apparatus. The setup includes a perforated Plate with a porous Stone placed above a soil specimen inside an Acrylic chamber with a diameter of 15 centimetres. Below the soil specimen, another porous Stone forms part of the test setup, with an Outflow valve depicted at the bottom. All components are interconnected using pillar steel supports, illustrating how soil properties are measured under controlled pressure conditions.Schematics view of consolidation tube
