Question: ( a ) . For deviator stresses 1 , 2 , 8 ( psi ) , calculate Resilient modulus. ( b ) . For each

(a). For deviator stresses 1,2,8(psi), calculate Resilient modulus.
(b). For each deviator stress, plot confining pressure vs. resilient modulus.
(c) In one figure, plot all three (3) deviator stress vs. resilient modulus
(d). Define proportionality between confinement, deviator stress, and resilient modulus.
Example
Resilient modulus tests were made on a fine-grained soil. The distance between the LVDT
clamps is 4in.). The average recoverable deformations measured by the two LVDTs
after 200 repetitions of each deviator stress are shown in Table
Note. 1=6.9kPa,1 in.=25.4mm.
( a ) . For deviator stresses 1 , 2 , 8 ( psi ) ,
