Soil borings made at a site in city indicate that the top 6 m is a loose sand and miscellaneous fill, with the groundwater table at 3 m below the ground surface. Below this is a fairly soft blue-gray silty-clay with an average water content of 30 %. The boring was terminated at 16 m below the ground surface when fairly stiff silty clay was encountered. Make reasonable assumptions as to soil properties and calculate the total, water, and effective stresses at 3, 6, 11, and 16 m below the ground surface.

In the above figure, the standard penetration test was carried out at a depth of z = 2 m on the sand ground under the foundation base and the obtained SPT N60 value was determined as 21. Calculate the corrected (N1) 60 value at z = 2m depth under the foundation base.At the same time, calculate the elastic settlement in the center of the foundation, the value of Se, using the elastic theory and Hooke's rule on the sand ground in the figure.Take the average Es value for the whole sand layer as 12000 kN / m2. Take the value of the depth factor If as 0.85. According to the results you have calculated, which of the following (N1) gives the values of 60 and elastic settlement, Se.

Define the Vertical Stress Due to a Uniformly Loaded Strip Area ?
A project in coarse-grain sandstone is being investigated. Field drilling tests proved that air-track drills with 4-in. B bits can achieve a penetration rate of 2.1 ft/min. Assume that it takes 5 min to change a bit. The drills use 12-ft steel. The blasting pattern will be 8 × 10 ft with 2 ft of subdrilling. The average depth to finish grade is 18 ft. The drilling production must match that of the loading and hauling operations, which is 320 bcy/hr. Assuming a 45-min production hour drilling, how many drill units will be required?
