- Explain the Estimating Soil Modulus from SPT and CPT ?arrow_forwardThe soil for backfilling comes from a borrow pit. The water content of the soil in the borrow pit is 15% and its void ratio is 0.69. The swell index index is 1.2. The specification requires the backfill material to be compacted to a dry unit weight of 16 kN/m^3 1. What is the number of truckloads of soil required for the footing foundation? 2. What is the weight of dry soil in one truck load? Please answer. Thank you! Guide in answering is in the picture. Thanks!arrow_forward1. You are planning to build a three story above ground building with a basement parking garage below ground. The bottom of your slab/foundation will be 17 ft below existing grade. You plan to keep the ground water level in the excavation 3.0 ft below the bottom of the foundation for approximately 3 months. The water table is 11 ft below existing grade. The soil is uniform mediumsand down to a depth of approximately 50 ft. The soil below 50 ft is an impervious clay. Your excavation will be 320 ft x 150 ft. You have determined that a 4 ft wide x 3 ft deep sump around the perimeter of your excavation will provide adequate dewatering capacity. Based on test wells on site, you determined that the medium sand has a k value of .058 ft/min and that the D factor is 50 ft. a. Calculate the flow rate, q b. Calculate the total volume (V) of water that will need to be pumped in gallons per minute (GPM) If q and V are calculated in Question 1 and found to be 143.93 ft3/min and 1076.60 GPM…arrow_forward

- Explain some of the negative effects of too much sand in the soil and how can these effects be overcome?arrow_forwardA ten-story steel-frame office building with a 200 ft x 200 ft footprint is to be built on a site underlain by alluvial sands and silts. These soils are fairly uniform and probably have good engineering properties. The building will have one 12 ft deep basement and will probably be supported on either a mat foundation located 5 ft below the bottom of the basement, or a deep foundation extending about 60 ft below the bottom of the basement. The groundwater table is about 30 ft below the ground surface and bedrock is several hundred feet below the ground surface. There are no accessibility problems at this site. i) How many exploratory borings will be required, and to what depth should they be drilled? ii) What type of drilling equipment would you recommend for this project?arrow_forwardYou are planning to build a three story above ground building with a basement parking garage below ground.
