Table Q1(b) shows the data obtained from soil
exploration report. The groundwater level
was found at a depth of 3m below the ground surface. Given the
surcharge load lies on the
ground surface at 70 kPa.
Depth (m) Types of soil Specific gravity Porosity
0 to 5 Clayey sandy 2.69 0.40
5 to 10 Clayey silty 2.63 0.35
10 to 14 Silty sandy 2.70 0.30
14 to16 Silty clayey 2.72 0.37
I. Determine the total stress, pore water pressure and effective
stress distribution for
the 4 layers of soils.
II. Draw the pressure distribution diagram of total stress, pore
water pressure and
effective stress of soil.

Can you please suggest me a literature on "Conservation or harvesting of water in a hilly region where there is no access to ground water due to the altitude".
And a suggested list of technology to solve the above problems.

Thompson’s proposal for a building construction contract was for $125,500. After finding that his bid was low, he checked his estimates and found that an item of $25,000 had been incorrectly recorded as $2,500 in making the summary of costs. Can he remove his bid? Is the contract likely to be valid? Why or why not? Explain your answer. To receive full credit, you should use the legal terms discussed in class.

For federally funded public projects, Owners must select the most qualified design team based on certain criteria rather than based on price. What are the three criteria used to determine what engineering and architecture firm is the most qualified for a project? What is the act that required the use of these three criteria rather that price for the selection of engineering and architecture firms for public projects in the US?

Lien laws have been enacted to provide protection for various people. Prior to filing a mechanic’s lien, what is the process and what must someone do in order to make a lien claim (i.e., in order to have the right to file a mechanic’s lien)? Mention one strategy that could be used by the owner to avoid a mechanic’s lien.

The results of a standard Proctor test are given in the
following table.
a) Determine the maximum dry unit weight of compaction and the
optimum moisture content. Given: Mold volume = 1/30 ft3.
b) Determine the void ratio and the degree of saturation at the
optimum moisture content. Given: Gs = 2.69.

As SR361 enters Middletown from the NW, it must curve to the south between two historic buildings. At this point, SR361 consists of two 11-foot lane. The building to the right of traffic, is only 10 feet from the edge of the 5-foot wide shoulder. Local policy is that the superelevation rates not exceed 0.06 inches per inch. Will the minimum SSD be available from vehicles moving at 60 mph through this curve?
