You will be analyzing a road embankment construction (Figure 1). The stress from the external load is 20 kPa. The unit weight of the road embankment, y is 18 kN/m³. The road embankment will be built on two possible locations with two different compressibility properties, A or B (Table 2). The saturated unit weight, ysat of both soils is 20 kN/m³. External load Road Embankment 3m Soil 5m Bedrock Figure 1. Road embankment cross section. Questions: (b) Recommend which soil (A or B) is better for the construction, and justify your recommendation with data analysis. (7 morke)
