The results of a consolidation test on an undisturbed soil, sampled at a depth of 10 m below the ground level are as follows:
Saturated unit weight 16 kN/m3
Pre-consolidation pressure 90 kPa
The water table was encountered at the ground level. Assuming the unit weight of water as 10 kN/m3 the over-consolidation ratio of the soil is
Saturated unit weight 16 kN/m3
