Justify the statement. The type of the soil affects its response under dynamic loading conditions.
Nonrigid analyses are superior because they consider the flexural deflections inthe mat and the corresponding redistribution of the soil bearing pressure.
What is capillary action and how did it occur in soil?
Define Drained Versus Undrained Strength
Is it possible for some soils to be expansive when the normal stress is low, and collapsible when it is high? Explain.
1. A soil profile for an office building foundation is on a sand layer of 10.4 meters, which is located above a normal consolidated sand soil layer with a thickness of 2 meters. Under the clay layer there is coarse sand. The groundwater level is 3 meters below ground level. The sand pore number is 0.76 and the clay moisture content is 43%. The building will exert a pressure of 140 kPa on the clay, so that the clay will undergo primary consolidation. Assume that if it rains there can be a rise in the groundwater level to the surface. So the sand can become saturated with water. Cc = 0.3 and Gs = 2.7.
