Question: geotechnical evaluations and recommendations. PGA ( _ { 4 7 5 } = 0 . 4 5 mathrm { ~g } )

geotechnical evaluations and recommendations.
PGA \(_{475}=0.45\mathrm{~g}\)
Mw may be assumed as 7.0
Don't forget to state:
a) Geotechnical soil idealisation
b) Geotechnical parameters of each unit (a summary Table for geo parameters at the end of this section may be good.)
c) Bearing capacity/slope stability calculations for an embankment of 10 m in height. The road platform will be 50 m and side slopes will be 2h:1V.
d) Make the settlement (immediate+consolidation) calculations for this site under the embankment load.
e) Liquefaction assessment for this site using SPT data only for sandy soils assuming the fine content as \(4\%\).
f) Your engineering judgement about the necessity for ground improvement / type and details of the ground improvement (in case of need).
- Please prepare your works as an engineering report.
- Please add your input files in case you use a computer program for calculations.
- Do not forget to state your engineering judgements.
- Do not forget to give references for the tables, graphs, equations, methods you use.
- Make any reasonable assumptions if necessary.
