The figure above shows the e-log plot of a clay soil. The point "a" (in red) represents the minimum radius of curvature of e-log o plot. 1) Using Casagrande's procedure, the preconsolidation pressure oc' is 2) The compression index Cc is 3) What is the primary consolidation settlement at the field at the mid-height of 6m thick clay layer (with ytot = 16.5 kN/m3 and initial voids ratio (eO) = 0.95. The water table is at the ground surface and the applied distributed load at the ground (A) = 100 kPa.
