Q.
Geotechnical Engineering Please help me answer this question, and please show your solutions write it properly. Problem 1 A soil sample has moist unit weight equal to 16.5 kN/m3), water content of 15%, and specific gravity of 2.70. Find the dry unit weight and the void ratio for this soll Problem 2 A soil sample has a total unit weight of 16.5 KN/m3 and a void ratio of 0.84 The specific gravity of solids is 2.70. Determine the degree of saturation and the moisture content of the soil.
A 6 in diameter exploratory boring has been drilled through a fine sand to a depth of 19 ft. An SPT N-value of 23 was obtained at this depth using a USA safety hammer with a stan-dard sampler. The boring then continued to greater depths, eventually encountering the groundwater table at a depth of 35 ft. The unit weight of the sand is unknown. ComputeN1,60, f′, and Dr at the test location, and use this data to classify the consistency of thesand.
During the process of drilling boreholes, the following tasks should be considered: Field logging, In situ testing, Sample collection Field logging, Moisture content test, Sample collection Sample collection, SPT test, Unconfined compression test Field logging, In situ testing, Sample collection, Moisture content test
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…
There are 2 samples of granite rock from similar sampling site. However, its dimension height and diameter are different, i.e. for sample A is 104mm : 52mm (height : diameter) and sample B 52mm : 52mm. Between sample A and B, which is expected give a higher rock strength. Justify your answer?

Please solve this problem and explain each step clearly, Please explain the theory and show your work clearly, I really want to understand. Thank you
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
