Figure 4.
The image displays a graph where the Y-axis represents the void ratio, denoted as e, while the X-axis represents effective stress, denoted as s prime, measured in kilopascals. The graph uses a logarithmic scale along the X-axis, ranging from 1 to 1000 kilopascals, with intervals of 10, 100, and 1000 marked. Multiple lines represent different conditions, featuring specific markers such as squares and triangles for various water to cement ratios and cement content levels, including categories such as W 1.5 with no cement, W 2.0 with no cement, and cement content levels from 1 percent to 3 percent. Each category is identified in a legend located in the bottom left corner of the graph. Error bars appear on some data points, indicating measurement variability. The graph depicts the relationship between void ratio and effective stress across the different testing conditions.The comparison of compression curves between uncemented kaolin and lightly cemented kaolin with varying initial water contents in vertically cut specimens
