Selecting Options > CONS Setup then clicking on Compression Reports underneath Chart Reports in the left-hand navigation panel gives you a list of settings that control the appearance of compression curve chart reports.
You can include a graph of Cv vs. log10(pressure) or a table of Cv results underneath the compression chart by selecting the Compression and Cv curves or Compression curve and tabulated Cv values options, respectively. Select the Compression curve only option to omit all time-rate data from the compression report.
- Neither the Cv table nor the Cv graph will be plotted unless time-rate data have been entered for several loading increments.
- By design, values on the Cv vs. log10(pressure) do not plot at the pressures corresponding to their loading increments. ASTM D 2435 specifies (in 13.2.6.3 of the 2011 standard revision) that the Cv values be plotted vs. the log of the average applied during increment. (See the standard's Note 23 for the committee's rationale.)
Include construction lines
If you select this option CONS will include the Cc and Pc construction lines on compression curve reports.
Report title
The chart report title is a single line of text shown at the top of the compression chart report. Typically the title reads, e.g., Swell/Consolidation Test Report.
