The specific gravity and absorption test (ASTM C128) was performed on fineaggregate and the following data were obtained:Mass of SSD sand = 500.0 gMass of pycnometer with water only = 623.0 gMass of pycnometer with sand and water = 938.2 gMass of dry sand = 495.5 gCalculate the specific gravity values (dry bulk, SSD, and apparent) and theabsorption of the fine aggregate.
In a standard penetration test, the blows are recorded as 1/20/30. If correction factor for overburden is 0.90, the standard penetration resistance, N-value corrected for overburden and dilatancy is.
Soil please do both questions.
The site soil consists of loose sand that are dry within the top 3 m and saturated below. The present blow counts ranging between 2 and 10. Due to concerns regarding Iliquefaction dynamic compaction is proposed. The soil should be improved to a depth of 10 m A 20-ton tamper with a diameter of 1.5 m and a height of 1.5 m is available. Assume a square pattern More than one pass may be required Estimate: Number of drops required Number of passes required

sand deposit has been identified beneath a site located adjacent to a river. The sand deposit is 15 feet thick and the top of the layer is 12 feet below the ground surface and overlain by a very stiff clay and is underlain by bedrock. The water level has been measured to be at a depth of 10 feet. The standard penetration resistance of the layer has been determined to be 12 blows per foot and a standard sampler was used; a drill rig with a safety hammer with an efficiency of 60% was used. The length of the drill rod is 10 meters and the borehole diameter is 5 inches (127 mm). The design earthquake has been designated as a moment magnitude 6-3/4 event on a nearby fault and the maximum ground acceleration is expected to be 0.40 g. The wet unit weight of the clay soils is 150 pounds per cubic foot and the wet unit weight of the sand soils is 180 pounds per cubic foot. The sands have 35% fines content according to a grain size analysis. Compute the factor of safety against liquefaction of…
