You are required to move a 60-ton truck-mounted crane onto vour construction site. The front wheels carry 20% of the load on tires inflated with 80 psi air pressure. Calculate the possible rutting depth to your temporary jobsite road built from in-situ compacted medium sand. A surface SPT test shows an N = 12 and the tire's bearing area is roughly square. Use the Schmertmann method to estimate the rutting.

An embankment for a highway 35m wide and 1.2m in compacted thickness is to be constructed from a sandy soil trucked from a borrow pit. The water content of the sandy soil in the borrow pit is 15% and its void ratio is 0.72. the specification requires the embankment to be compacted to a dry unit weight of 18.2 kN/m3. Length of embankment is 2.5km. Assuming G = 2.7, determine the volume of borrow material required.
1 In order to restore a river embankment damaged by an earthquake, a soil of 50,000 m3 estimated after compaction was needed. From the laboratory tests of soil from the excavation site, the water content was w = 15%, and the void ratio was e = 0.60, and the specific gravity of soil was Gs =2.70. The soil was carried by truck to the construction site. The load capacity of the truck is 6.5 t. The construction of embankment was done by compacting after adding water so that the water content becomes 20%. The dry density of soil after compaction was 1.80 t/m3 . Answer the following questions. The density of water is 1.0 t/m3 . find the saturation Sr, the bulk density, and the dry density of soil at the excavation site. Find the total number of trucks needed for the construction. Find the total volume of soil excavated at the excavation site. Find the total volume of water added to obtain the prescribed water content. Assume that evaporation of water is negligible. The embankment is needed…
