Assume the boring(s) and/or CPT(s) to characterize the site will extend to the same depth. Based onknowledge of the project area and an awareness of business practices, what is the minimum boringor CPT depth you would recommend for foundation design and construction purposes?Select one:О а. < 30 ftO b. 30 to 59 ftО с. 60 to 69 ftO d. 70 to 79 ftO e. 80 to 89 ftO f. 90 to 99 ftO g. > 100 ftThe applicable building code specifies obtaining geotechnical data from a minimum of:1. For structures under three (3) stories and not over 10,000 square feet of floor area: one (1) soilboring or CPT.2. For other structures with 15,000 square feet or less of ground floor area: two (2) soil borings orCPTs.3. For other structures with more than 15,000 square feet of ground floor area: (2) soil borings orCPTS plus one (1) soil boring or CPT for each additional 15,000 square feet of ground floor area.To comply with the code, how many soil borings and/or CPTS should you propose?Select one:O a. 1 or 2O b. 3 to 5O c. 6 to 8 Use the following information to answer the next four (4) questions.A client has selected you to provide geotechnical engineering services for a multi-story steel-framedbuilding. The structural engineer expects the maximum column load in compression to be about 100kips. She has stated the structure can tolerate up to 1 in. of total long-term settlement and 1/2 in. ofdifferential settlement. The site is a vacant parcel of land in Kenner, Louisiana. This building will be200 ft wide and 400 ft long as shown below.L= 400 ftW = 200 ftBased on published geological information and data from borings and CPTS on adjacent properties,you are reasonably certain that the soils to about 75- to 80-ft depth are mostly soft, normallyconsolidated Recent (Holocene) clays. Below the Recent clays are strong (stiff to very stiff)Pleistocene clays that are relatively incompressible.Which type of foundation do you think will be needed, shallow or deep?Answer:

As per the problem, the building is a multi-story steel-framed building. also, the structural…
