Drainage allowed in 1st stage and not in 2nd stage = consolidated undrained stage.
Drainage is allowed in both 1st and 2nd stages = consolidated drained stage.
Drainage is not allowed in both 1st and 2nd stages = the unconsolidated undrained stage.

I think, seepage means allowing the water through the soil pores.

Consolidation means expulsion (removing) of water voids from soil by applying some static loads.

@Laxmikant.

Quick test is the test where drainage is not allowed i.e. unconsolidated undrained test.

The drained test is the test in which water is allowed to drain after 2nd pressure.

When drainage is allowed the consolidation takes place and it is also mentioned that at the later stage drainage is curbed so the the test name is called Consolidated undrained test.

When drainage is permitted under initial applied stress that means we are already consolidated and applied stress without permitted water i.e. consolidated undrained test.

What is the difference between consolidation and seepage?

What is drained test?

I want to know that, the consolidated quick test is the same or not. Please anyone tell me.

Seepage is passes of water from pore and consolidation is a decrease in the suface area with removing of water from the pore.

The unconsolidated undrained test is called a quick test.

So, a quick test is different from the consolidated undrained test.
