Question: For this problem use the Harlem Hotel Boring Log B - 6 * given in the Lecture 1 folder in Course Works. Using the strata

For this problem use the Harlem Hotel Boring Log B-6* given in the Lecture 1 folder in Course Works. Using the strata boundaries shown on the log. Assume the following moist unit weight of the: FILL (F)=115 pcf SILT (M)=120 pcf SAND (S1)=125 pcf Varved SILTS and SANDS (V)=120 pcf TILL (T)=130 pcf Measure depth of overburden to the middle of the sampling spoon. For example, for Sample 9D the depth of overburden would be 26 ft. below the ground surface. Groundwater is located 30 ft. below the ground surface. Unit weight of water is 62.4 pcf.1. The shear strength of soil is not influenced by its depth below groundwater. True or False 2. What is the uncorrected N-value for Sample 9D?3. What is the uncorrected N value for Sample 17D?4. Correcting for overburden only and assuming groundwater is at a depth of 30.0 ft, what is the overburden correction coefficient of Samples 9D?5. Correcting for overburden only and assuming groundwater is at a depth of 30.0 ft, what is the overburden correction coefficient for Samples 17D?6. If we assume the Sample 9D was obtained using a donut hammer, what would be the Energy Correction Coefficient ?7. If Sample 17D was taken with an automatic hammer, what would be the Energy Correction Coefficient?8. What is the (N1)60 value Sample 17D?9. Can the Percent Recovery ever be higher than the RQD?10. Why do you think the RQD designation for Core Run No.1 was NA?11. All rock core lengths taken during a subsurface exploration program are 5 ft. or less. True or False 12. When designing a rigid concrete subway structure in granular soils, the design soil lateral pressure would be based on At-Rest lateral pressures using the Rankine coefficient of Ko. True or False 13. The stiffness of a Support of Excavation System(SOE) is solely based on the stiffness of the SOE wall EI. True or False 14. The risk associated with the final construction cost of a project decreases with time. True or False 15. The final design of a multiple braced SOE involves checking each stage using (a) Apparent Pressure diagrams (b) Rankine Diagrams (c) Hydrostatic pressure diagrams (d)(a) & (c) only (e)(b) and (c) only (f)(a)(b) and (c)
