sand deposit has been identified beneath a site located adjacent to a river. The sand deposit is 15 feet thick and the top of the layer is 12 feet below the ground surface and overlain by a very stiff clay and is underlain by bedrock. The water level has been measured to be at a depth of 10 feet. The standard penetration resistance of the layer has been determined to be 12 blows per foot and a standard sampler was used; a drill rig with a safety hammer with an efficiency of 60% was used. The length of the drill rod is 10 meters and the borehole diameter is 5 inches (127 mm). The design earthquake has been designated as a moment magnitude 6-3/4 event on a nearby fault and the maximum ground acceleration is expected to be 0.40 g. The wet unit weight of the clay soils is 150 pounds per cubic foot and the wet unit weight of the sand soils is 180 pounds per cubic foot. The sands have 35% fines content according to a grain size analysis. Compute the factor of safety against liquefaction of…

Q2. (a) You are given the following results from Atterberg Limits testing on a soil sample (PL= 23%, LL = 55%) collected from a boring on a local project site. The soil sample had natural moisture content of 56.3% prior to Atterberg Limits testing. If the soil is fine grained, what is the USCS Group Symbol (refer to Figure 2a) on page 7 for this soil and what does the natural moisture content result tell you about the soil in-situ (i.e. “in place")?

A compaction test was conducted in a soils laboratory using the Standard Proctor Method B test procedure. The weight of the compact soil specimen plus mold and baseplate was determined to be 3841 g. The volume and mass of the mold were 943.7 cm³ and 2066.0 g, respectively. A moisture content test was carried out on a representative portion of the sample and the results were 9.8%. Required Determine the dry unit weight in metric units, to the nearest 100th. Your Answer:
Not interested in the calculations, just want to see the graph so please display that for me instead of the e calculations. Note) For soil sample in Table 2, initial thickness of sample = 14.31 mm, sample area = 2827.433 mm^2 , dry weight measured at the end of test = 52.53 g, specific gravity = 2.7. (Please draw graph possible) Also Determine the compression index and expansion index using graph
