A haul road from a borrow pit to the fill has an adverse grade of 3% and has rolling resistance of 90 lb/ton. What will be the effective grade for the haul?
Describe Mohr’s Failure Criterion?
A large embankment is to be built on the surface of a 18-ft clay layer. Before the embankment is built, the initial σ′v at the middle of the clay layer is 500 psf. The results from a 1-D consolidation test on the clay from the middle of the layer provide σ′p=1600 psf, Crε=0.0352, and Ccε=0.180. If the final σ′v at the middle of the layer after the embankment loading is 2000 psf, what is the settlement, in inches, of the clay layer resulting from thisloading?
Are the rollover and sliding coefficients in line with the requirements?
