Question
In the soil profile shown below, the water table is currently located at the ground surface (WT.1) and the clay layer has an OCR equal to 2.0. If the water table changes from level WT.1 to level WT.2 as depicted in the figure below, what is the new OCR in the middle of the clay layer a long time after the drawdown? (Acceptable tolerance = 2%, provide OCR value with 2 decimals).
