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 cellular cofferdam of 8.4 m radius and 15 m height is proposed for flood protection. Properties of the selected fill material are as follows: . Friction angle (p)=30° • Cohesion (c) = 0 • Unit weight after compaction (y) = 20 kN/m³ If sheet piles with a yield stress of 450 MPa and thickness 8.45 mm thickness and are used to construct the cofferdam, calculate the factor of safety against yielding.

Q3(c,d)
An excavation is rapidly made on site as depicted in the Figure below. The soil wedge above the critical slip surface is divided into thirteen slices. Based on the ordinary method of slices, calculate the ratio (R/S) between the Resisting Force (R) and the Driving Force (S) for slice #3, shortly after the excavation is completed. (Acceptable tolerance = 4%). The geometry of slice #3 and the soil properties are provided in the tables below. The height of water at the middle of the slice is hw = 3.0 m. Note that the total weight of the slice is equal to the weight of the saturated soil below the water table plus the weight of the moist soil above the water table. Hint: the weight of slice #3 is 495 kN
