SOIL course please do both question. GivenA standard penetration test (SPT) was performed at a depth of 6.85 m below theground surface in a silty sandy soil. Geotechnical tests show the unit weight to of thesoil to be 19.86 kN/m³ and that the cohesionless layer is overlain by a layer of stiffclay that has a unit weight of 18.56 kN/m³ and extends from the ground surface to adepth of 0.65 m. The blow counts recorded using a standard sampler were16/14/20.RequiredDetermine the corrected N-value using the CN method, to the nearest wholenumber.Your Answer: GivenA standard penetration test (SPT) was performed at a depth of 6.85 ft below theground surface in a silty sandy soil.

A 6 in diameter exploratory boring has been drilled through a fine sand to a depth of 19 ft. An SPT N-value of 23 was obtained at this depth using a USA safety hammer with a stan-dard sampler. The boring then continued to greater depths, eventually encountering the groundwater table at a depth of 35 ft. The unit weight of the sand is unknown. ComputeN1,60, f′, and Dr at the test location, and use this data to classify the consistency of thesand.

Discuss the advantages of the CPT over the standard penetration test.
A sand deposit has been identified beneath a site located adjacent to a river. The sand deposit is 15 feet thick and the top of the layer is 12 feet below the ground surface and overlain by a very stiff clay and is underlain by bedrock. The water level has been measured to be at a depth of 10 feet. The standard penetration resistance of the layer has been determined to be 12 blows per foot and a standard sampler was used; a drill rig with a safety hammer with an efficiency of 60% was used. The length of the drill rod is 10 meters and the borehole diameter is 5 inches (127 mm). The design earthquake has been designated as a moment magnitude 6-3/4 event on a nearby fault and the maximum ground acceleration is expected to be 0.40 g. The wet unit weight of the clay soils is 150 pounds per cubic foot and the wet unit weight of the sand soils is 180 pounds per cubic foot. The sands have 35% fines content according to a grain size analysis. Determine the magnitude scaling factor, MSF. Express…
