8) A factory building is going to be constructed on a deep sand deposit. The project engineer has already taken samples from the site and applied laboratory tests (drained triaxial tests) to detemine the shear strength parameters of the sand. The unit weight of the sand is 16kN/m3. The void ratio of the sand is 0.5. Specific gravity is 2.65. In the test, the confining pressure is kept constant as 100kPa and the deviator stress increases gradually until 300kPa (at failure). Calculate the friction angle of the sand.
A soil sample having initial void ratio 0.75and thickness 20 mm is subjected toconsolidation test. Initially the dial gaugewas set to zero. At the end of consolidation,the final dial gauge reading was observedto be 0.25 mm. The final void ratio of thesample is....
please help me... If a soil sample tested in a direct shear box of 60 mm by 60 mm and the maximum readings for normal loads of 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0kN were 202, 265 and 511 kN, determine the strength parameters corresponding to effective stress. Please find: 1) UU test; Unconsolidated Untrained (Q-test or quick test) 2) CD test; Consolidated Drained ( S-test or slow test) 3) CU test; Consolidated Untrained (R-test) 4) UC test; Unconfined Compression (σ_3=0) Thank you..
An SPT test was conducted in a dry sand (no ground water table) with a unit weight of 18kN/m3. The drill rig used had an energy efficiency rating of 60%. The recorded blow counts were 6, 7 and 8. The depth of testing was 6 m. Use the Liao and Whitman (1986) correction for overburden stress to determine the corrected SPT value at this depth. N60=? CN=? (use 3 decimals) N1(60)=? (truncated to an integer value)

Results of a lavoratory consolidation test on a 5 meter thick clay (at a site) indicates t 50 = 12.2 minutes for the load increment of 8 tons/ sq ft. The lab sample had drainage on top and on the bottom. The lab sample height is 1.582 cm. a. Determine the coefficient of consolidation for the load range in cm squared/min. b. Based on the laboratory results above (a), compute the time it will take for 100 % consolidation of the 5 meter thick clay layer in the field. A sand layer overlies the clay layer and impervious rock underlies the clay layer. Answer the time in years.
Q11 Please provide justified answer asap to get a upvote
An oedometer test is conducted for a soil sample. The sample is consolidated under vertical stress of 50 kPa. The oedometer test finished at 144 min and data are given in table I. The average thickness of the sample is 20 mm. Predict the coefficient of consolidation (cv, in mm^2/min) using Casagrande log t method and Taylor square root of t method. Please use the empty graphical papers.
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
