W Mass of Water Mass of Soil Solids M M: PN PP SN Ns S TC BC FP RM CH Ts

This document records the masses and dimensions of various components used in a consolidation test, including a cell holder, membranes, nails, and a soil specimen. It documents the masses before consolidation, after adding an unsaturated then saturated specimen, and after freeze-drying. The mass of the dry specimen and water are calculated. A second section records the initial height of a soil sample and charts voltage readings and calculated heights over time during the consolidation test.
