The pressure versus void ratio data determined from a


The pressure versus void ratio data determined from a consolidation test on an undisturbed clay specimen are as follows:

Pressure (kPa)   Void Ratio        Pressure (kPa)   Void Ratio
20                    0.864               1280                0.602
40                    0.853               320                 0.628
80                    0.843                80                  0.663
160                  0.830                20                  0.704
320                  0.785                 0                   0.801
640                  0.696

a) Plot the pressure versus void ratio curve on a semilog graph

b) Determine CC and Cr

c) Estimate the stress at which this clay has been preconsolidated

d) If this samples was taken from 5 meters below the ground surface, estimate the OCR.
