Question: Q 3 . ( 2 5 Pts ) A wastewater pipeline passes near a foundation as shown in the figure. This pipeline is 4 m

Q3.(25 Pts) A wastewater pipeline passes near a foundation as shown in the figure. This
pipeline is 4m below the surface. 200kPa (Area ABFE) and 400kPa (Area BCDE) pressure
acts on different parts of the foundation as shown in the figure. What is the vertical stress
increase acting on the pipe at point H due to foundation loading?
Q4.(25 pts) At 10m depth, a silty sand layer was encountered and the Standard Penetration
Test (SPT) was performed. Blows for the first, second, and third 15cm ground penetration
were reported as 4,6, and 11, respectively. The energy rate of the ram is 50%. The borehore
diameter is 200mm and the SPT sampler without liner is used. The rod length from the bottom
of the ram to a depth of 10m is 12m. Calculate N1,60 value. (GWT is 4m below ground
surface and unit weight above and below GWT is 19kNm3 and 20kNm3 respectively)
