You have been asked to formulate a boring plan (recommended boring depths, spacing. boring method, sampling method.ctc) for a four-story office building and parking lot. The office building has a footprint of 50 m x 70 m and the parking area is 150 x 250 m (Figure 1). Your back ground search and field reconnaissance revealed that the soil profile consists a 2 m loose fill overlying thick clay deposits. Try to do the best job of characterizing the site for the least amount of money. Also, discuss the logic behind your exploration program. Office Buling 150m Puting 250m Figure 1.

Give the functions of float collar and float shoe in drilling engineering?
A large sized excavation is made in a stiff clay whose saturated unit weight is 17.27 kN/m3. When the depth of excavation reaches 7.5m, cracks appear and water begins to flow upward to bring up sand to the surface. Subsequent borings indicate that the clay is underlain by sand at a depth of 11m below the original ground surface. What is the depth to the water table outside the excavation below the original ground level?
A site consists of a 12 m thick saturated clay deposit underlain by bedrock. The clay has ??=20.0????/??3and ????=40????/??2 . If an excavation is to be made at a slope angle ??=25° to a depth of 10.0 m, what would be the factor of safety FSs? What type of failure circle would you expect?
