The unconsolidated undrained test is does not measure the pore pressures where the consolidated undrained test does. It is also cheaper in cost and can be used for clays‚ silt clays and silts where the consolidated undrained test is mainly used for clays. The test can be beneficial to geotechnical engineers where construction is quick. As
