QUESTION 3 A saturated, normally consolidated clay has a water content of 30, a liquid limit of 40, and a plastic limit of 20. The specific gravity of solids in the clay is 2.70. After demolition of an existing building, the effective vertical stress in the clay reduced to half of the prior stress. Most nearly, how much will the void ratio of this clay increase after unloading?
