4. A dry sand sample is subjected to direct shear testing at its normal (in situ) water content. Tw performed on this sand. For one of the tests, the sample shears at a stress of 100 kPa when the norma is 150 kPa. In the second test, the sample shears at a stress of 200 kPa when the normal stress is 300 Determine the cohesion and the angle of internal friction of this sand sample b

9. A damp sand sample is subjected to direct shear testing at its normal (in situ) water content. Two tests are performed. For one of the tests, the sample shears at a stress of 100 kPa when the normal stress is 135 kPa. In the second test, the sample shears at a stress of 145 kPa when the normal stress is 225 kPa. Plot the test data and determine the value of the "apparent cohesion" and the corresponding...

3 (a) With neat sketches explain how the method of slices can be used to determine the factor of safety of an embankment when subjected to ‘end of construction condition. (b) The stability analysis performed using the 'method of slices', on an embankment of 12 m high gave the following results: Total normal force = 2000 kN (ii) Total shearing force 500 kN Total neutral force = 300 kN (iv) Length of the arc = 23...

Please assist with Geotechnical engineering
Question 3 (70) Design an isolated rectangular footing of dimension 4m x 5m. The gross pressure acting at the base of the footing is 150 kN/m2. Choose the depth of foundation such that the factor of safety is exactly 3 against shear failure. Also check against the permissible settlement (75mm) to ensure that the design is safe from the settlement criterion too. If the design is not safe against settlement criterion, then choose the proper...

geotechnical engineering
The soil profile at a site consists of a clay layer 10 m thick, sandwich between two sand layers. The top sand layer has a density of 1.9 Mg/m² and is 5 m thick. Below this layer is a 10 m thick clay layer with a saturated density of 1.8 Mg/m' and a saturated water content 42%. The deeper sand layer has a saturated density of 1.9 Mg/m² and extend to the depth investigated at the site. The...

Question 4 A sample of soft silty clay from the Thames Estuary is taken from the ground, trimmed to a cylindrical specimen and then placed into a triaxial cell. The sample is compressed isotropically under drained conditions by increasing the cell pressure in the triaxial cell to 450 kN/m², with a back (pore) pressure of 200 kN/m2. At the end of the compression stage the sample is calculated to have dimensions of length = 74.03 mm and diameter = 37.17...
