A 15 cm diameter borehole has been drilled through a fine sand deposit to a depth of 7 m. At this depth, the SPT,using a US safety hammer and a standard SPT sampler, gave Nfield = 23. Boring then continued to greater depths,encountering water table at a depth of 11 m. Compute N'60, Ø', and Dr at the test location, and use the data toestimate the denseness of the sand.

An excavation is rapidly made on site as depicted in the Figure below. The soil wedge above the critical slip surface is divided into thirteen slices. Based on the ordinary method of slices, calculate the ratio (R/S) between the Resisting Force (R) and the Driving Force (S) for slice #3, shortly after the excavation is completed. (Acceptable tolerance = 4%). The geometry of slice #3 and the soil properties are provided in the tables below. The height of water at the middle of the slice is hw = 3.0 m. Note that the total weight of the slice is equal to the weight of the saturated soil below the water table plus the weight of the moist soil above the water table. Hint: the weight of slice #3 is 495 kN

A standard penetration test was performed in a 150 mm diameter boring at a depth of 9.5 m be-low the ground surface. The driller used a UK-style automatic trip hammer and a standard SPT sampler. The actual blow count, N, was 19. The soil is a normally consolidated fine sand witha unit weight of 18.0 kN/m3 and D50 = 0.4 mm. The groundwater table is at a depth of 15 m.

A cut slope was excavated in sand. The slope is shown in following attachment . To find the properties of the sand, representative samples were taken for the soil and tested in atriaxial apparatus. A consolidated drained triaxial test was conducted. The result is given below:Chamber pressure = 103 kN/m2Deviator stress at failure = 234.6 kN/m2We know the unit weight of the sand is 16 kN/m3.Use the ordinary method of slices (use 7 slices) and estimate the factor of safety against sliding forshown slip surface and comment on the calculated factor of safety.Please note that:1. The figure is not in scale. You may resketch it in scale and calculate the factor of safety2. The slip surface is circular and passes through the toe of the embankment

A 6 in diameter exploratory boring has been drilled through a fine sand to a depth of 19 ft. An SPT N-value of 23 was obtained at this depth using a USA safety hammer with a stan-dard sampler. The boring then continued to greater depths, eventually encountering the groundwater table at a depth of 35 ft. The unit weight of the sand is unknown. ComputeN1,60, f′, and Dr at the test location, and use this data to classify the consistency of thesand.
The figure below shows a proposed site where an excavation will be made. The 12 ft layer of sand will be removed, so that the top of the 30 ft normally consolidated clay layer will be exposed (Assume that changes in GWT do not affect γt of clay). a. Assume that the water-table location remains the same during excavation. Compute the σ, σ′v, and u values at the middle of the clay layer before and after the excavation b. Assuming 1-D conditions, compute how much the clay layer will deform due to this excavation, in inches. Specify whether this is settlement or heave
