A flat dilatometer test has been conducted at an unknown depth. u 0 and P 1 have been measured 800 kPa and 2500 kPa, respectively. An oedometer test also has been performed on a recovered undisturbed sample from the same depth and it was found that Cc , C s and pre-consolidation pressure were equal to 0.38,0.04 and 600 kPa, respectively. Assume \gamma w =10 kN/m3.
