Soil classification and characteristics

Soil classification is a method of categorizing soil based on its properties, types, and uses. The motive of soil classification is to arrange various types of soils and divide them into groups for various engineering and agricultural purposes. Soil classification is carried out by various agencies as per their purposes. From an engineering perspective, soil classification is done to find out the suitability of soil for various construction purposes like the construction of dams, foundations, highways, infrastructures, and so on. For engineering purposes, the soil is classified by the following systems:

Calculate the size of a square footing on a soil profile consisting of a medium-densesand layer with constant N values, N60 = 30. The dead load is 500 kN and the live load is200 kN. The footing is embedded 1 m into the sand. Groundwater is 2 m below thesurface. Consider that allwable settlement is 25 mm.
The embankment for a highway 5097 ft long, 104 ft wide and 6 ft in compacted thickness is to be constructed from a sandy soil trucked from a borrow pit. The water content of the sandy soil in the borrow pit is 6.748% and its porosity is 0.422. The specification requires the embankment be compacted to a dry unit weight of 122.874 lb/ft3. The specific gravity is 2.588. Determine the following: a. Total weight of the soil solids, kips. b. Total volume of the soil required from the borrow pit, ft3. c. Weight of water to be added per foot length of the embankment to reach 10% moisture content, lb.Round off answers to three decimal places.

The soil arrangement shown carries 1.76 meter square footing with a column load of 583 kN. properties of sand: Above water table = 17.54 kN/m3, below water table = 18.51 kN/m3. Properties of clay: 17.03 kN/m3, Cc = 0.382, void ratio = 0.65. Use H1 = 6m, H2= 4m, H3 = 4m, Df = 1m. Determine the settlement of the normally consolidated clay in mm. Round off to three decimal places.
for the footing shown , check the adquancy of footing . ( factor of safety = 2.5) / type of soil caly . C = 120 kN/m2 ƴt = 18 kN/m3 ƴd = 12.7 kN/m3
