Figure 5.
The graph depicts the relationship between effective stress, labelled as sigma prime, measured in kilopascals, and void ratio, labelled as e. The X-axis represents effective stress, ranging from 1 to 1000 kilopascals, following a logarithmic scale. The Y-axis represents void ratio, ranging from 0.8 to 3, with increments of 0.2. Multiple lines represent different sample mixtures, including combinations of water ratio W and cement content percent, labelled accordingly in the key. The plot depicts variations in void ratio with changing effective stress for each mixture, with some lines showing overlapping patterns and distinctions among mixtures with different water and cement ratios.The comparison of compression curves between uncemented kaolin and lightly cemented kaolin with varying initial water contents in horizontally cut specimens
