Question: In a medium - fine clean sand with unit weight of 1 7 . 5 k N m 3 , a standard penetration test is

In a medium-fine clean sand with unit weight of 17.5kNm3, a standard penetration test is carried out. The groundwater table is at a depth of 3.0m below the ground surface. The N60 values are given below.
\table[[Depth (m),1.5,3.0,4.5,6.0,7.5],[N60,15,21,18,27,39]]
Determine the following parameters at these depths:
(a) Relative density using Meyerhof (1957), and Cubrinovski & Ishihara (1999) correlations.
(b) Friction angles at this depth using Peck et al.(1974), Schmertmann (1975), Hatanaka & Uchida (1996) correlations.
(c) Equivalent modulus of elasticity (Es). Assume an overconsolidation ratio of 1.5.
