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 liquefaction 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: 1. The required drop height 2. Spacing of the drops 3. Number of drops required 4. Number of passes required 5. SPT blow counts after improvement, and 6. Settlement.

An evaluation of the in situ small strain shear modulus for a clay soil at a particular depth is 12,500 kPa. Call this Gmax. The first iteration of a dynamic analysis using the small strain moduli gives estimated cyclic shear strain of 0.1%. The Plasticity Index of the soil is 40. Find the values of G and critical damping ratio (in %) to be used in the next iteration of the analysis,
