is it possible to get the specific gravity of the soil from the consolidation test? and if so what is the procedure?
 
see my post of 9 dec for CR = Cc / (1+eo) where Cc is obtained from e-logp' curve. CR also is also obtained from the strain-logp' curve directly. so, if you have Cc from e-logp' and CR from strain-logp', the only outstanding variable is eo, eh? You are calling Cc' as what I call CR (compression ratio).
