APPENDIX B 

 DATA TABLE FOR EACH CORE TESTED 



All parameters listed in the data tables have been defined and discussed in the 

 text, except the compression index and slump. The compression index, C c , is defined 

 (ASCE) as the slope of the linear portion of the void ratio-logarithm of pressure, p, 

 (e-log p) curve, or 



e i - e f 

 r = J L (23)

P: 



where subscripts i and f are respectively the initial and final conditions. Skempton 

 (1944, p. 126) demonstrated a straight-line, linear relationship between the compres- 

 sion index and liquid limit, LL . This relation is defined (Terzaghi and Peck, 1948, 

 p. 66) as 



C c = 0.009 (LL - 10%). (24) 



Compression indices in the tables were determined from the liquid limit in accordance 

 with equation 24 and from the laboratory e-log p curves by equation 23. These figures 

 will be used and discussed in the report on consolidation, which is in preparation. 



Slump percentage is the ratio of the amount of height change immediately before 

 the compressive strength test to the original height of a cylinder of the sediment. 

 Certain samples slumped under their own weight before the compressive strength test 

 could be started. 



Porosities were estimated from assumed specific gravities (equations 12 and 14) in 

 certain Area G cores. All such estimated data are shown within parentheses in the 

 tables.
