While constructing a highway from Islamabad to Lahore, patches of highly plastic and expansive soils were observed. What kind of stabilization method would you propose? Write down the suitable percentage of admixture along with the factors affecting that stabilization method. The soil investigation for the construction of a three storey residential building gives the following information; Ground water table was intercepted at 3' depth Overall relative density of the soil = 60% Soil properties obtained from laboratory testing are; Internal cohesion 835 lb/ft, Angle of internal friction 33°, Unit weight of soil above water table = 115 Ib/ft', Unit weight of soil below water table = 125 IOA', Proposed type of footing is square with a depth of 6' and width 3 Find out the net allowable bearing capacity for the proposed footing type (Select the mode of failure, relevant method and suitable factor of safety by yourself). In some area of the country, conditions are found suitable for the construction of an Earthen dam. What would be your major considerations related to design of the dam? For a 5' x 5' square footing having a uniformly distributed load of 2 T/ff, find out the vertical stress at a depth of 5' and in plane distance of x-2'& y=4' from the far edge of foundation (point lying outside the loaded area).
