Question:
A dilatometer test was conducted in a clay deposit. The groundwater table was located at a depth of 3 m below the surface. At a depth of 8 m below the surface, the contact pressure (P0) was 280 kN/m2 and the expansion stress (p1) was 350 kN/m2. Determine the following:
a. Coefficient of at-rest earth pressure, Ko
b. Overconsolidation ratio, OCR
c. Modulus of elasticity, Es
Assume σ'o at a depth of 8 m to be 95 kN/m2 and µs = 0.35.
