The normal stress of a soil sample is165 kPa at void ratio of 0.66. If the compression index of the soil is 0.25, determine the normal stress on the soil at void ratio of 0.56

The term shear strength is often associated with the soil. Shear strength is defined as the resistance to the deformation of soil particles due to the continuous action of shear stress. In short, shear strength is the maximum shear stress that a soil can…
