Rowe-Barden Consolidation Systems

Specially developed cells by Wille Geotechnik®:

  • K0 consolidation cells
  • Unsaturated consolidation cells (Prof. Schanz)
  • Swell pressure cells
  • Temperature controlled consolidation cell
  • High-pressure cell

 

These type of cells are designed for stress and strain controlled consolidation tests:

  • Rowe cells / Rowe Barden cells
  • CRS consolidation cells
