5. Question - An earthwork contract was awarded to excavate and backfill the foundation of a proposed 75-ft by 75-ft office building. The existing grade elevation is 37.00-ft while the sub-base for the below grade basement is 31.50-ft. The concrete contractor requires a 3-ft perimeter walkway in order to place the concrete formwork. Soil conditions are classified as OSHA Type B soils which require 1H:1V side slopes. The total volume (yd³) excavated is most nearly: a. 1525 b. 1561 c. 1588 d. 1598

You are planning to build a three story above ground building with a basement parking garage below ground. The bottom of your slab/foundation will be 17 ft below existing grade. You plan to keep the ground water level in the excavation 3.0 ft below the bottom of the foundation for approximately 3 months. The water table is 11 ft below existing grade. The soil is uniform medium sand down to a depth of approximately 50 ft. The soil below 50 ft is an impervious clay. Your excavation will be 320 ft x 150 ft. You have determined that a 4 ft wide x 3 ft deep sump around the perimeter of your excavation will provide adequate dewatering capacity. Based on test wells on site, you determined that the medium sand has a k value of .058 ft/min and that the D factor is 50 ft. a. Label D, H, and ht on the given diagramb.
