Data from an oedometer test using a clay specimen are plotted in the graph shown below. If the compression index is equal to 0.6, calculate the void ratio (e2) missing at Point C, which is associated with a vertical effective stress equal to 105 kPa
x in red is equal to 39
2. A sample of saturated clay of height 20 mm and water content 30% was tested in an oedometer. Loading and unloading of the sample were carried out. The thickness Hf of the sample at the end of each stress increment/decrement is shown in the table below. o: (kPa) H, (mm) 100 200 400 200 18.68 100 18.75 20 19.31 18.62 a. Plot the results as void ratio versus o'z (log scale). b. Determine Cc and Cr.
