The compression curve (void ratio, e vs. effective stress, σ'v) for a certain clayey soil is a straight line in a semi-logarithmic plot
and it passes through the points (e = 1.2; σ'v = 50 kPa) and (e = 0.6; σ'v = 800 kPa).
The compression index (up to two decimal places) of the soil is _______.
and it passes through the points (e = 1.2; σ'v = 50 kPa) and (e = 0.6; σ'v = 800 kPa).
The compression index (up to two decimal places) of the soil is _______.
