Two undisturbed clay samples were taken from the middle of the
overconsolidated and normally consolidated clay layers in the soil
profile shown. The water table is at the top of the
overconsolidated clay layer. Consolidation tests were carried out
on the two samples and the results are summarized in the table
below. Assume that the bulk, dry, and saturated unit weights of the
sand are 16 kN/m3, 16 kN/m3 and 19
kN/m3, respectively. The specific gravity of the clay
soil...
Please show work
1. Refer to Figure 1. A site has been chosen for the location of a building. A fill has been placed on top of the soil profile shown. Given that the preconsolidation stress was found to be 152 kPa, the initial void ratio is 0.80, and the compression index is 0.35, estimate the primary consolidation settlement in the clay Fill 10 m Sand Figure l: A fill on top of a soil profile is shown. Fill l-10...
Problem 7 The soil profile at a site consists of a top 4 m layer of dense sand followed by 2 m of clay, which is underlain by a stiff stratum. The water table is at 2 m below the ground level. The following data was obtained from a consolidation test on an undisturbed sample obtained from the middle of the clay layer: water content 5 36%, specific gravity of the clay grains = 2.72, compression index = 0.72, recompression...
please show step by step (also show how to find the vertical stress
increase)
18 A new petroleum storage tank is proposed at an oil refinery to be supported by a 20-meter diameter slab foundation at the ground surface. The structure will produce a uniform load of 110 kN/m2 on the entire slab foundation. A subsurface investigation has revealed the shown soil profile. A series of laboratory tests on representative samples obtained from the clay stratum has resulted in the...
Can anyone solve this Geotechnical Engineering
question.... I will leave good remarks ??
QUESTION 3 (20 marks) A. Following are the results of a standard penetration test in sand. Determine the corrected standard penetration numbers, (N1), at various depths. Note that the water table was not observed within a depth of 35ft below the ground surface. Assume that the average unit weight of sand is 110 lb/ft! (5 marks) 5 Depth, Z NA 8 10 7 15 13 20 15...
Laboratory tests were performed on clay samples collected from

Please, show step by step and clearly. problem 9.17, (Use 3
equally divided sub-layers for the 15 m clay layer). thanks
please, resolve question 9.17 (Use 3 equally divided sub-layers
for the 15 m clay layer)
9.16 The soil profile and the loading condition are given in the followin n) figure. Total new footing stress including the foundation at z 2 is 400 kN/m2. The soil profile has a rather thick clay layer (15 so that the layer should be...
hello, could anyone help me with this question,
please.
Q3:- The old building (A) is to be removed and replaced by a new building (B), as shown in Figure (Q3). The vertical pressure at the center of the clay layer from the building (A) and building (B) is equal to 13.64 kN/m² and 23.3 kN/mº respectively, Find 1. O.C.R after removing building (A). 2. The void ratio (e) of the clay layer: a. Immediately after removing building (A). b. After...

Problem 3 A prefabricated concrete pile is to be driven into a dense sand deposit as shown in Figure 3 Determine the following; 1. Ultimate bearing capacity of the pile using Meyerhof and NORDLUND method. 2. Using Driven sofiware, calculate the capacity of the pile. (Attach report from the software). 3. At this same soil profile, compare the ultimate capacity of different piles (high displacement and low displacement) and comment based on your results. You should present the...
