1. At a depth of 10 ft the recorded SPT blows per six inches were 7-15-17 for a sandy soil. The water table is also at 10 ft. The equipment used was a Mobile B- 53 rig with an 8" hollow stem auger. The SPT sampler was a standard sampler with liner and an automatic trip hammer was used to drive the sampler. The average unit weight of the soil above 10 ft is 125 pcf. a) Determine the corrected and normalized blow count. b) Determine the friction angle from the corrected normalized blow count.

Testing Procedure for the Sand Equivalent Test.
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 liquefaction 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: 1. The required drop height 2. Spacing of the drops 3. Number of drops required 4. Number of passes required 5. SPT blow counts after improvement, and 6. Settlement.

A soil sample having initial void ratio 0.75and thickness 20 mm is subjected toconsolidation test. Initially the dial gaugewas set to zero. At the end of consolidation,the final dial gauge reading was observedto be 0.25 mm. The final void ratio of thesample is....
Which of the following are standard procedures used for determining the field unit weight of compaction?I. Sand Cone MethodII. Rubber Balloon MethodIII. Nuclear MethodIV. Falling Head Test Method
A standard penetration test has been conducted on a coarse sand at a depth of 16 ft below the surface. The blow counts obtained in the field were as follows: 0-6 in. (4 blows), 6- 12 in. (6 blows), and 12-18 in. (6 blows). The tests were conducted using a USA-style donut hammer in a 6 in. diameter boring using a standard sampler with the liner installed. The vertical effective stress at the test depth was 1500 lb.ft'. Determine N1.

An SPT test was conducted in a dry sand (no ground water table) with a unit weight of 18kN/m3. The drill rig used had an energy efficiency rating of 60%. The recorded blow counts were 6, 7 and 8. The depth of testing was 6 m. Use the Liao and Whitman (1986) correction for overburden stress to determine the corrected SPT value at this depth. N60=? CN=? (use 3 decimals) N1(60)=?
