Question: 1 ) . Using a spreadsheet, please develop a table that converts the attached boring information into corrected blow count information. Please use equation 1

1). Using a spreadsheet, please develop a table that converts the attached boring information into "corrected" blow count information. Please use equation 12.4 for the Noo correction and equation 12.6 and 12.7 for the N1(60) correction. (hint: see example table below). Please assume an automatic hammer was used with "1.2" energy correction value and that the bore hole was 6-inches in diameter.2). Using the corrected blow count information, please develop your best estimate for reasonable soil strength parameters. Consider the information presented in Table 12.4 and equation 12.4 for cohesive soils and equations 12.18,12.19 and 12.20 for frictional materials. (hint: add columns to your existing spreadsheet to determine strength parameters. You will have either a friction angle, or a cohesion angle for each N-value, not both).
