Q 1: A CPT test was conducted at a site that consists of Depth (m) 9.(MPa) 2.1 normally consolidated sand with some interbedded Layer No 1. 2-3 silts. The CPT profile is approximated into uniform 3-5 3.4 soil layers with constant cone-bearing, as shown in 3 5-6 4.5 Table 01. The modulus of elasticity for the soils can 6-7 6.8 be approximated by E = 3.5qc. The groundwater 7-8 5.8 table is at a depth of 2.5m below the ground surface, 8-9 6.2 and the total unit weight y=18 kN/m³ above and 7. 9-12 8.6 y=18.81kN/m below the GWT. A 30m x 2.5m strip 8. 12-13 9. footing founded at a depth of 2m in this soil has to Table 1 carry a load of 15MN. Use Schmertmann's strain influence factor method to determine the settlement of this footing a) Immediately after, and b) 50 years after construction. n 00 00 Nm46 6 00
The consideration site drilling known geological data are shown in Table 1, determine the site category.
why are collapsible soils rarely found in areas with very wet climates? Soil investigation at a site indicated over consolidated collapsible soil extending to a great depth. It is required to construct a footing at the site founded at a depth of 1.0 m below ground level. The site is subjected to flooding. The average unit weight of the soil is 19.5 kN/m3. Two oedometer tests were conducted on two undisturbed samples taken at a depth of 5 m from the ground level (mid depth). One test was conducted in its natural moisture content and the other on a soaked condition. The following test results are available.Applied Pressure (kPa)1020401002004008002000Void ratio under natural moisture condition0.7950.7900.7870.7800.7700.7400.7100.640Void ratio under soaked condition0.7750.7700.7570.7300.6800.6300.5400.370The swell index determined from the rebound curve of the soaked sample is equal to 0.08. Answer the following:a) Plot the e-logp curves for both tests.b) Determine the average overburden…
Geotechnical Engineering Please help me answer this question, and please show your solutions write it properly. Problem 4 For a given sandy soil, the maximum and minimum void ratios are 0.72 and 0.46, respectively. If Gs= 2.71 and w=11%, what is the moist unit weight of compaction in the field if the relative density equals 82%? Problem 5 A soil sample has a unit weight of 105.7 pcf and a degree of saturation of 50% When the saturation is increased to 75%, its unit weight raises to 112.7 pcf. Determine the void ratio e and the specific gravity Gs for this soil.
Separate triaxial compression tests are performed on identical soil samples. The soil is saturated mixed soil. At failure, the respective minor and major principal stresses values are 10 kPa and 30 kPa for sample one, and 40 kPa and 70 KPa for sample two. From these data, determine the value for ∅ and the cohesion intercept C on the Mohr’s circle shear strength coordinate. Show all hand calculations and diagrams.
Please help, I promise to give good feedback. Please do not just guess. Thank you!
