Following is the variation of the field standard penetration number (N60) in a sand deposit: The groundwater table is located at a depth of 6 m. Given: the dry unit weight of sand from 0 to a depth of 6 m is 18 kN/m3, and the saturated unit weight of sand for depth 6 to 12 m is 20.2 kN/m3. Use the relationship given in Eq. (3.13) to calculate the corrected penetration numbers.
Write a note on various drilling techniques, where they are used and their advantages and disadvantages. Also write a note on how the soil condition and project type governs the appropriate selection of sampling and drilling technique to be employed.
Soil borings for the subsurface investigation of a site indicate a deep deposit of sandy soils. At one boring location, the blow count logged for the standard penetration test, N60, while sampling at a depth of 25 feet was 22 blows/ft. The sand has a unit weight of 115 pcf. Using criteria that relate SPT results and the soil angle of internal friction, estimate the value of f for the sand at the sample depth.
Information obtained when drilling at a site would include: The type of soil present at the site and the thickness of the layers. The location of underground utilities. Arial Photographs. All of the above.
