a Several methods of soil exploration such as the geotechnical and geophysical systems of soi investigations have been used for civil engineering structures. A geotechnical site investigatior is the process of collecting information and evaluating the conditions of the site for the purpose of designing and constructing the foundation for a structure, such as a building, plant or bridge. a) Discuss the following soil exploration methods: 1. Geophysical methods 2. Seismic surveys 3. Electrical resistivity 4. Gamma density

A developer plans to extend Bayview Haven residential estate in Darwin by constructing a 3.5mm fill platform over very soft mangrove silty clay soils. Borehole drilling indicates the very soft clay soils are 5m thick and underlain by rock of extremely low permeability, with the water table at the ground surface. Laboratory testing indicates the following geotechnical properties of the soils: • Very Soft Silty Clay: Degree of saturation - 100%, Coefficient of Volume Compressibility (m.) - 0.85 MPa', coefficient of consolidation of clay (c.) = 2.5 m/yr; dry unit weight - 13 kN/m', moisture content - 38%. Compacted fill: bulk unit weight = 22 kN/m'. (a) Estimate the final consolidation settlement (s.) of the clay layer AM (b) Estimate the consolidation settlement after 14.5 months (c) How long will it take the silty clay layer to reach 90% consolidation, in years. (d) If the silty clay has an overconsolidation ratio (OCR) of 1.5, what is the preconsolidation pressure at the midpoint of…
