Objective Question
A compacted clayey sample with drainage at each end is to allowed to fully consolidate in a
triaxial shear test apparatus under a cell pressure of 100 kN/m2. The cell pressure is then
increased to 250 kN/m2 and an increase in pore water pressure of pressure of 130 kN/m2
is recorded. The value of Skempton's pore water pressure parameter, B is
