SHW12F2012 Final

The document contains soil test data including void ratio (e) measurements under increasing pressure levels up to 800 kPa. A preconsolidation pressure of 140 kPa and compression index (Cc) of 0.45 are reported. A graph shows the soil compressing along an e-logσ' curve as effective stress increases.
