Initial water content determined from specimen trimmings, reported value is average of two gravimetric measurements. Initial porosity calculated from initial water content assuming 100% pore water saturation and specific gravity of 2.70. Final water content determined from post-test measurement after consolidation at 0.55 MPa effective stress. Final porosity calculated from final water content assuming 100% pore water saturation and specific gravity of 2.70. ND = not determined.
