For the test data of Problem 8-12, construct the field virgin compres-sion curve using the Schmertmann procedure for an OCR of unity.
Problem 8-12
The following consolidation test data were obtained from undisturbed San Francisco Bay Mud. For this clay, LL = 88, PL - 43, p, = 2.70 Mg/m3, and w,, = 105.7%. Initially, the specimen height was 2.54 cm and its volume was 75.14 cm;. Plot the data as percent consolidation versus log pressure. Evaluate the preconsolidation pressure and the modified virgin compression index.
