We have tested a soil from Bioley region in the western Switzerland. Liquid limit of the soil is 28.9%, plastic limit 15.5%, specific mass of particles 2.703 t/m3, percentage of particles smaller than 0.02mm is 63.8 and those smaller than 0.06mm 85.  According to USCS the soil is a clay with low plasticity (CL). We have tested the material in a standard oedometer under dry condition.  The sample, named RC07, was directly prepared in the oedometric cell with no prior preconsolidation. The file contains the initial parameters and the stress-strain response of the sample at different loading-unloading steps during the test.
