- Question
If ?0' and ?' represent initial and increased pressure ; e0 and e void ratios corresponding to initial and increased pressure ; and C0 the compression index (dimensionless), then, the virgin compression curve as expressed by Terzaghi empirical formula is
Options- A. e = e0 + Cc log10 ?'/?0'
- B. e = e0 - Cc log10 ?'/?0'
- C. e0 = e - Cc log10 ?'/?0'
- D. e0 = e + Cc log10 ?0'/?'
- Correct Answer
- e = e0 - Cc log10 ?'/?0'
