Q.3. A) Four soil samples loaded in saturation state till 150kPa net vertical stress. The suction increases in sample A under the same net stress to 750kPa, while in sample B the suction increases till 500kPa and net stress increases to 250kPa. In the sample C the suction first increases to 500kPa then the sample loaded to 350kPa, while in sample D the suction increases till 350kPa and net stress increases to 250kPa. If the SI=1000kPa,=9.0,r=0.75,(0)=0.25,k=0.015,PC=20kPa, describe the state of each point (elastic or plastic) regarding to BBM, support you answer with equations.
