Transcribed Image Text:The results of a laboratory consolidation test on a clay sample are given below:
| Pressure, \( p \) (kN/m²) | Void Ratio, \( e \) |
|---------------------------|---------------------|
| 23.94 | 1.112 |
| 47.88 | 1.105 |
| 95.76 | 1.080 |
| 181.52 | 0.985 |
| 383.04 | 0.850 |
| 766.08 | 0.731 |
Tasks:
a) Draw an \( e \)-log \( p \) plot.
b) Determine the pre-consolidation pressure, \( p_c \).
c) Find the compression index, \( C_c \).
