Following are the results of a standard penetration test in sand. Determine the corrected standard penetration number, (N1)60, at various depths. Note that the water table was not observed within a depth of 10.5 m below the ground surface. Assume that the average unit weight of sand is 17.3 kN/m3. Depth (m) N60 1.5 8 3.0 7 4.6 12 6.0 14 7.5 13
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.
A civil engineer is interested in assessing the variation of shear strength of clay layers in a site of interest for different depths. After completing CU triaxial tests, the sample mean for the clay shear strength 40 kPa and the standard deviation was 15.5 kPa are obtained for the depth of 3 m from ground surface. For the following conditions:a. Calculate 90% confidence interval (CI) for the population mean μ. Write down your interpretationb. Calculate 95% CI for the population mean μ.

Solve only if you are 100 % sure, else allow other experts to do , otherwise i will downvote The following series of standard penetration test (SPT) results was obtained in an 18-ft thick stratum of relatively uniform silty sand:
Site investigation is to be made for a structure 100m length x 60m width. The soil profile is shown. If the structure is subjected to 200kPa, what is the approximate depth of the borehole? Assume unit weight of water = 9.8 kN/m^3. D =140
Geotechnical Engineering The following are the results of a standard penetration test in sand. Estimate the soil friction angle at the 3.0 meter depths given N60 =7 . Note that the water table was not observed within a depth of 12 m below the ground surface. Assume that the average unit weight of sand is 15.5 kN/m3 and Pa = 100 kN/m2. a. 44.6 b. 37.6 c. 38.9 d. 34.4
Cone penetrometer soundings were used for the subsurface investigation of a planned construction site. At one sounding location, the value recorded for qc at a depth of 8 m was 8,000 kPa. The soil has a unit weight of 16 kN/m3. Using criteria that relate CPTresults and the soil angle of internal friction, estimate the value of f for the sand at the test depth.
