Subject: Soil Mechanics Please provide a solution and diagram Boreholes reveal that a thin layer of alluvial silt exists at a depth of 50 ft below the surface of the ground. The soil above this level has an average dry unit weight of 96 lb/ft3 and an average water content of 30%. The water table is approximately at the surface. Tests on undisturbed samples give the following data: cu = 1008 lb/ft2, undrained friction angle = 13°, cd = 861 lb/ft2, drained friction angle = 23°.
