Question

The table below shows data recorded during an oedometer test on a soil sample for an increment of vertical stress of 200 kPa. At the start of the loading, the sample height was 19.17 mm.

After 24 hours, the settlement was negligible and the void ratio was \(1.20\), corresponding

to a sample height of \(18.2 \mathrm{~mm}\). Determine \(C_{v}\) using the root time and the log time

methods.

Question of Soil Machanics. Thanks. Q4 In an oedometer test, the diameter of the clay sample was 70 mm and its original thickness was 19 mm. A normal pressure was applied to the sample and the reduction in thickness was 4 mm after 24 hours. The mass of the soil before and after the compression was measured to be 138.9 g and 123.5 g, respectively, and the dry mass of the soil was found to be 99.5 g. Assuming the...
