Soil engineering for highway design

Soil engineering is a part of geotechnical engineering that deals with the characteristics of soil. It also helps to understand the behavior of the soil in different conditions. The basic concepts of soil are studied to check the strength, compressibility, and porosity of the soil. This makes soil engineering an important topic for civil engineering.

In concrete work, Fuller and Thompson (1907) suggested that a dense packing of grains can be achieved if the percent finer (p) and grain size (D) are related by the following equation, where n is a constant varying in the range of 0.3-0.6. Dmax is the size of the largest grain within the soil. p=(DDmax)n100 This equation is sometimes used in roadwork for selecting the aggregates. a. For n = 0.5, show that the soil is well graded. b. If n = 0.5 and Dmax = 19.0 mm, find the percentages of gravel, sand, and fines within the soil. Use the Unified Soil Classification System.

•Sam, the strawberry producer, has had complaints from the produce company that his strawberries are damaged during transit. Sam would like to know the force required to damage the strawberries if they are stacked three deep in their container. •The damage occurs on the bottom layer at the interface with the parallel surface of the container and also at the point of contact between the layers of strawberries. •An hydrostatic bulk compression test on a sample of Sam's strawberries indicates an average bulk modulus of 225 psi. Testing of specimens from Sam's strawberry crop shows a compression modulus E of 200 psi. The average strawberry diameter is 1.25 inches and the axial deformation due to the damage in transit averages 0.23 inches. The modulus of elasticity for Sam's variety of strawberries is reported to be 130 psi. •Estimate the force Sam's strawberries may be encountering during transit. (Hertz method)
