A construction project need for an earthfill from a borrow pit's soil. The final soil at construction to be compacted need to achieve dry unit weight of 18.20 kN/m3 and 15 000 m3 volume of compacted fill. If we knew the in situ dry unit weight of the borrow pit soil is 16.18 kN/m3, determined the volume of soil requires to be excavated from borrow pit tp provide necessary volume of compacted fill.

A direct shear test is performed on a soil sample with two different loads. In the first test, a normal stress of 55kPa is applied and the soil fails at a shear stress of 35kPa. In the second test, the soil failed at shear stress of 47kPa when a normal stress of 75 kPa was applied. Determine the values of internal friction angle and cohesion of the given soil sample.

x 18 The effective shear strength equation (S = T₁ = 25+5 tam 30); expressed for a saturated clayey soil. In undrained test on a sample of the same soil using the shear box apparatus, the following data at failure were recorded :. Shear Stress = 90 kPa a) What and Normal stress = 180 kPa pore water pressure in the specimen at time of was the failure (assume Øu= 0). Find the Unconfined compressive strength (Od max) for the same soil an Unconfined. when tested in Compression test. c) Find the major principal stress when a sample of the same soil is tested in Ul test with confining pressure of (200 kPa).
In Triaxial test, which of the following parameters do not need to be recorded the confining pressure specimen diameter changes ) the generated pore pressure the axial force A Triaxial test was performed on a dry, cohesionless soil. If the sample failed vhen the minor principal stress was half of the major principal stress, the soil's angle of internal friction is: O 22.5 19.5 33.3 O 25 A technician obtained a soil void ratio of 1.5. It is okay because it is possible to measure void ratio values above 1. True False |
An oedometer test is conducted for a soil sample. The sample is consolidated under vertical stress of 50 kPa. The oedometer test finished at 144 min and data are given in table I. The average thickness of the sample is 20 mm. Predict the coefficient of consolidation (cv, in mm^2/min) using Casagrande log t method and Taylor square root of t method.
