Oedometer Testing - Soil Analysis
Hello all
I was wondering if any had a background or understanding on soil settlement/consolidation testing specifically oedometer testing.
My understanding is that we simply measure displacement vs time however I have been given the following data:-

I dont understand the Dial Reading values which are shown in mm.
I would interpret this data as at 0 min the displacement was 7.82mm, at say 4 min the displacement is 6.78mm - but why are the values for Dial Readings getting smaller I would have thought that as the soil compressed then the displacement values would get larger.
Can anyone help shed any light?
Thank you.
