Braced cuts

The braced cut is a method of providing lateral support to the soil in foundation trenches, to prevent the trenches from deformation by the caving in of soil and resisting it from moving laterally. During shallow excavation in firm soil, generally, slopes are provided to resist the caving in of soil. During shallow excavation in soft soil and deep excavation, the chances of caving in of soil increase. Hence, it becomes necessary to make a provision to resist the deformation of trenches due to caving in of soil. The braced cut is the method used for such conditions. The excavation using braced cuts is a bit uneconomical as compared to the traditional open-cut excavation method but provides better safety than the cut excavation method.

Circular precast concrete piles with 60 cm in diameter will be driven to a tip penetration of 30 m. The soil profile is all clay and the water table is 2 m under the ground surface. Consider that the soils with cu < 60 kPa can be considered soft for this case. The unit weight of water is 10 kN/m3. Unconfined compression tests on samples taken from a thin-walled Shelby tubes were performed, and the soil profile has the following stratification: 0-5 m cu= 20 kPa γt=16.5 kN/m3 5-15 m cu= 40 kPa γt=17.5 kN/m3 15-80 m cu= 200 kPa γt=20.5 kN/m3 State any necessary assumptions.

A flow net for seepage under a sheet pile wall has n₁= 4, n=8 and the permeabilities of the soil in the horizontal and vertical directions are: K₁ = 8 x 10-¹5 m/sec and K₁=2x10-5 m/sec. If the head loss through the soil is 2 m, the quantity of seepage per meter length of the wall will be
A dam includes a sheet pile "cut off" wall near the toe, installed to 7 ft below the groundline. Water seepage is assumed to be at steady state at this time step shown. At this time, the depth of the upstream pond (headwater) is 5 feet. The groundwater is at the same level as the ground on the downstream/tailwater side. The sand stratum thickness, where water is flowing, is 9 ft thick. The permeability of the sand, in the zone of the flow net, is k=42ft/day, the length of the dam (into the page) is 150 ft, and the unit weight of the sand is γsat=128 lb/ft3 (saturated unit weight of the soil). Use γw=62.4 pcf (unit weight of water) for your calculations, where necessary.What is the factor of safety against a quick condition?
