“…Therefore, it may be necessary to multiply the values of preconsolidation pressure determined from the CRS tests by 0 . 90 to obtain the EOP ó 9 p (Mesri & Choi, 1979, 1984Mesri et al, 1994). Mesri et al (1975: p. 541-542) introduced the comparison among the EOP e-log ó 9 v curves of undisturbed, remoulded and sedimented specimens as a means of estimating the source of soil structure for a soft clay deposit.…”
