ABSTRACT

Assume in all the above cases that the effective overburden pressure is 50 kN/m2• 9.10 Determine the relative density and the friction angle if the corrected 8PT value N60 at a site

is 30 from Eq (9.16) and Table 9.6. What are the values ofDr and l/J for N70? 9.11 Fig Prob 9.11 gives a corrected pressuremeter curve. The values ofPom' Pf and PI and the

corresponding volumes are marked on the curve. The test was conducted at a depth of 5 m below the ground surface. The average unit weight of the soil is 18.5 kN/m3. Determine the following:
