Q-3: Organic soils are typically characterized by high void ratio, low specific gravity, and high compressibility. Following are the results of a consolidation test on a sample of organic soil obtained from southwest Florida. Pressure, σ (kN/m²) Change in dial reading, AH (mm) 6 0.284 12 0.150 24 0.315 48 0.564 100 0.823 200 2.25 400 5.34 Given that the initial height of the specimen=20.6 mm, mass of dry specimen = 12 g, area of specimen = 31.67 cm², and G₁ = 2.49, a. Plot the e-log o' curve. b. Determine the pre-consolidation pressure. c. Calculate the compression index, Cc.
