Please actually solve the question not how to do instructions thank you. In an oedometer test on a 2cm thick sample, the following set of data was recorded under
constant stress of 800kPa :
a) Calculate coefficient of consolidation by Casagrande's method.
b) Calculate coefficient of consolidation by Taylor's method. (Do not be confused if the
answer is different from the answer in part a)
Void ratios at the end of the other load increments for this test are:
c) Find preconsolidation pressure (maximum past effective stress), by Casagrande's method.
d) Find preconsolidation pressure (maximum past effective stress), by Strain Energy method.
e) Calculate compression index, compression ratio, recompression/reload index and reload
ratio. Assume the clay was normally consolidated in its natural state before sampling. (Note
that when you plot the stress axis in log-scale, the numbers written on the axis are actual
stress values. So you still need to take their log in slope calculations)
