a) b) Briefly describe the determination of bearing capacity based on the following methods: i) Standard Penetration Test ii) Analytical Methods approach (at least two methods that you have learnt) (10 marks) 0 Results of a standard penetration test in sand (granular) is shown in Table A. By presenting in a table, determine the corrected standard penetration number, (N1)60, at various depths. Show at least one example of calculation to obtain '., Cy and (N1)60. Note that the water table was not observed within a depth of 10.5 m below the ground surface. Assume that the average unit weight of sand is 17.3 kN/m. (Use Eq.: CN= 10.5 to determine the correction factor).
