A 10 m wide road is to be constructed across a site where the
soil profile consists of 3 m of sand, overlying 1 m of peat, over a
deep sand deposit. The water table is 1 m below the soil surface.
The road pavement applies a uniform stress of 20 kPa to the
underlying soil. The peat is lightly over-consolidated with an
over-consolidation ratio of 1.25, has a uniform void ratio, e =
2.0, a re-compression index, Cr =...

Problem No. 1 The soil profile at a site consists of a
top 4 m layer of dense sand followed by 2 m of clay, which is
underlain by a stiff stratum. The water table is at 2 m below the
ground level. The follow- ing data was obtained from a
consolidation test on an undisturbed sample obtained from the
middle of the clay layer: water content 36%, specific gravity of
the clay grains = 2.72, compression index = 0.72,...

The soil profile at a site consists of a clay layer 10 m thick,
sandwich between two sand layers. The top sand layer has a density
of 1.9 Mg/m3 and is 5 m thick. Below this layer is a 10 m thick
clay layer with a saturated density of 1.8 Mg/m3 and a saturated
water content 42%. The deeper sand layer has a saturated density of
1.9 Mg/m3 and extend to the depth investigated at the site. The
water table...

Soil samples from nine locations at a site are taken to
determine the bearing capacity in kN/m^2. The results are
summarized:
23.1, 42.4, 30.3, 31.0, 28.4, 39.3, 32.4, 27.4, 38.0
(a) Estimate the mean, standard deviation, and COV of the
data
(b) Compute the standard error of the mean.
(c) Establish 95 percent confidence intervals for the mean.
(d) Using the COV from (a) how many samples must be tested to
have +/- 10 percent error for the mean at...
