Concept explainers

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.

The 20ft high clay fill shown below is proposed to be constructed over a layer of soft clay. A 5ft gravel layer is placed above the soft clay in order to facilitate drainage, assume it has the same unit weight as dense gravel. Answer the following: What is the magnitude of the settlement one year after the construction begins? What is the effective stress at Point A one year after construction begins if Point A is 25 feet below the GWT?
In May 1970, a 70 ft tall, 20 ft diameter concrete grain silo was constructed at a site in EasternCanada (Bozozuk, 1972b). This cylindrical silo, which had a weight of 183 tons, was supportedon a 3 ft wide, 4 ft deep ring foundation. The outside diameter of this foundation was 23.6 ft,and its weight was about 54 tons. There was no structural floor (in other words, the contents ofthe silo rested directly on the ground).The silo was then filled with grain. The exact weight of this grain is not known, but wasprobably about 533 tons. Unfortunately, the silo collapsed on September 30, 1970 as a resultof a bearing capacity failure.The soils beneath the silo are primarily marine silty clays. Using an average undrainedshear strength of 500 lb/ft2 , a unit weight of 80 lb/ft3 , and a groundwater table 2 ft below the ground surface, compute the ASD factor of safety against a bearing capacity failure, then com-ment on the accuracy of the analysis, considering the fact that a failure did occur.
• Problem 2. You are tasked with constructing a rolled fill with a total volume of 35,000 m^3. The borrow that you will use has soil with w=15%, bulk unit weight= 19.1 kN/m^3; Gs=2.75. The trucks that will move the soil have a capacity of 4.80 m^3. The compaction specification of your construction project are w=18% and dry unit weight=17.3 kN/m^3. a) Assuming that each load is at full capacity, how many truckloads are required to construct the fill? b) What should be the volume of the pit that remains in the borrow area, after all the material required from the fill has been removed? c) How many liters of water will have to be added per truck load, assuming that the moisture lost by evaporation, hauling, and excavation is negligible?
A contractor is excavating fill material from a borrow site to be used to construct a compacted fill foundation for a parking garage. She has determined that 5,000 compacted cubic yards of soil are required to complete the structural fill. The in situ density of the fill material is 110 pounds per cubic foot, the loose density is 88 per pounds per cubic foot, and the compacted density is 125 pounds per cubic foot. What is the percent swell for the fill material? , What is the percent shrinkage for the fill material? How many loose cubic yards must be hauled in trucks from the borrow site to construct the fill? How many bank cubic yards must be excavated and loaded on the trucks to construct the fill?
