3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the purpose of a geotechnical investigation?
Think about why engineers need to know about the ground below them.
Name one type of soil classification used in seismic design.
Refer back to what you remember about different soil types.
Which test is commonly used for determining soil properties?
Think about the tests you've learned that involve sampling soil.
True or False: Site Class E indicates hard rock.
Recall the definitions of the site classes.
Calculate the shear modulus of a soil layer with a known density of 18 kN/m³ and a cohesion of 30 kPa. How will this influence the design of a structure?
Remember the relationship between cohesion and shear strength.
Discuss the impact of varying dynamic soil properties on structural design during an earthquake scenario. Provide a case example.
Consider how structures rooted in different soil types would react differently.
