1. Convert the dial readings to the appropriate vertical deformation and compressive load units by multiplying with respective least counts.
2. Calculate vertical strain, and compute corrected area as 
for undrained tests, and as 
for drained tests. Determine the deviatoric stress.
3. Plot stress-strain curve, and obtain the peak stress or the stress at 20% strain.
4. Draw Mohr circles using effective principal stresses at failure for all tested specimens. From the Mohr-Coulomb failure envelope, determine the cohesion and the angle of shearing resistance of the soil.
5. Compute the water content, w (%).
