The procedure of a consolidation test, which determines the magnitude and rate ofvolume decrease of a laterally confined soil specimen under different verticalpressures. The consolidation curve (pressure-void ratio relationship) from themeasured data gives the compression index (slope of the virgin curve), therecompression index (slope of the recompression curve) and the preconsolidationpressure (maximum past pressure), and also the coefficient of consolidation and thecoefficient of secondary compression.
Database handle for the object. It is of XML type ID, so is constrained to beunique in the XML document within which it occurs. An external identifier for the object inthe form of a URI may be constructed using standard XML and XPointer methods. This is doneby concatenating the URI for the document, a fragment separator, and the value of the idattribute.
