Coefficient of Consolidation Calculator (Cv)

Determine the coefficient of consolidation Cv from oedometer test data using Casagrande's logarithm of time method or Taylor's square root of time method (ASTM D2435).

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How It Works

Determine the coefficient of consolidation Cv from oedometer test data using Casagrande's logarithm of time method or Taylor's square root of time method (ASTM D2435)

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Oedometer test data — The oedometer test data recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the coefficient of consolidation result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the oedometer test data for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Determine the coefficient of consolidation Cv from oedometer test data using Casagrande's logarithm of time method or Taylor's square root of time method (ASTM D2435). Use the coefficient of consolidation result to inform your clinical assessment.
