Question: Problem 1 . A clayey specimen is subjected to loading and unloading along the path A B C D E F . The Compression Index

Problem 1.
A clayey specimen is subjected to loading and unloading along the path ABCDEF. The Compression Index (Cc) and Recompression Index (Cs) are provided below. The initial void ratio at point A is given as eA(value provided below). Calculate the void ratios at points B, C, D, E, and F (the effective stress for each point is provided below). Assume that the effective stress at point B corresponds to the overconsolidation stress. Present the calculated void ratios in both tabular and graphical form (plot the graph of e -log(')).
