Nonrigid analyses are superior because they consider the flexural deflections inthe mat and the corresponding redistribution of the soil bearing pressure.
The site soil consists of loose sand that are dry within the top 3 m and saturated below. The present blow counts ranging between 2 and 10. Due to concerns regarding Iliquefaction dynamic compaction is proposed. The soil should be improved to a depth of 10 m A 20-ton tamper with a diameter of 1.5 m and a height of 1.5 m is available. Assume a square pattern More than one pass may be required Estimate: Number of drops required Number of passes required
Classify: A soil characterized by the following description: “78 % fine to coarse, hard, subrounded to subangular gravel; 16 % fine to coarse, hard, subrounded to subangular sand; Cu = 3.0, 6 % silty (estimated fines); moist, brown; no reaction with HCL; original field sample had 7 % hard, subrounded cobbles and 2 % hard, subrounded boulders with a maximum dimension of 18 in.
A soil profile consists of 3m of clean sand (γ=18kN/m³) over 10m of silt (γ=17kN/m³, kv=1 x 10-8m/s) over 12m of clay (γ=17kN/m³, kv=4 x 10-9m/s) over gravel. Piezometers installed at middepth of the sult later and at the top of the gravel layer measure, respectively, piezometric heads of 4m and 3m. Assuming one-dimensional flow in the vertical direction, compute the flow rate in m³/year/10,000m². Also, compute at 16m below the ground surface the total veritcal stress, effective stress, and porewater pressure.
