Geotechnical Engineering (UPVOTE WILL BE GIVEN. PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION CORRECLTY. NO LONG EXPLANATION NEEDED. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.) A moist soil weighed 895 g with a volume of 425 cm3. After drying, the sample weighed 775 g. Of the dried soil, 400 g was poured into a vessel loose state. Its volume subsequently determined to be 275 cm3. That same 400 g was then vibrated and tamped to a volume of 212 cm3 with Gs = 2.71. a. Determine the relative density of soil in %. b. Determine the designation of the granular soil based on its relative density.
The figure below shows a proposed site where an excavation will be made. The 12 ft layer of sand will be removed, so that the top of the 30 ft normally consolidated clay layer will be exposed (Assume that changes in GWT do not affect γt of clay). a. Assume that the water-table location remains the same during excavation. Compute the σ, σ′v, and u values at the middle of the clay layer before and after the excavation b. Assuming 1-D conditions, compute how much the clay layer will deform due to this excavation, in inches. Specify whether this is settlement or heave

As indicated in the following figure, an incompressible silty sand fill 16.4 ft thick wasplaced on top of a 49.2 ft thick layer of soft and compressible silty clay. Underlying theclay is a layer of incompressible sandy gravel. The soil properties of the silty clay layer aregiven in the following figure. The ultimate settlement, Sult = 5.64 ft, from the primaryconsolidation of silty clay layer due to the weight of the silty sand fill is calculated. A) Find the time rate of settlement by showing the Time [year] vs. Settlement [ft] curve.Show sample calculation when percentage of consolidation, Uavg = 50% B) Compute and plot effective stress profile (σ’z vs. depth) at the Silty Clay layer in thefollowing timing:a.
