a. Plot P0 and P1 readings with depth in one plot and show the groundwater table.
b. Calculate the hydrostatic porewater pressure with depths.
c. Evaluate the profile of material index, ID, and dilatometer modulus, ED with depths.
d. Determine the soil type from material index. What types of soil are encountered at this site?
e. Use the material index, ID, and dilatometer modulus, ED, to determine the profile of soil unit weight with
depths.
f. Show three side-by-side plots for (1) material index, ID, (2) dilatometer modulus, ED, and (3) soil unit
weight with depths. Make sure to match the ground surface elevation and bottom for all three graphs.
g. Calculate the total and effective overburden stresses, and plot the profiles of total and effective overburden
stresses and hydrostatic porewater pressure with depths in one plot
