You've been asked to design a water pipeline and recommend a depth of bury. Using the Design Freeze Index (FI) of 2500 degF-days, what burial depth would you recommended? Assume that the soil is silty sand with a moisture content of 15% and a dry density of 100 pcf (pounds per cubic foot). Use an n-factor of 1.0, and assume that the mean annual surface temperature is 37.2 degF, ground temperature is 32 degF, and freeze days are 150
