B.Tech Civil Engineering Assignment-I Ce208 Geotechnical Engineering-Ii

This document contains 11 questions related to geotechnical engineering and soil investigation techniques. It asks about factors to consider when planning a soil exploration program, deciding borehole depth and number, analysing soil samples of different types, and interpreting data from tests like cone penetration tests, shear vane tests, and refraction surveys to determine soil properties.

1. What sort of expertise would be needed to choose the borehole depth and number
in a soil investigation?
2. How do you analyse the samples obtained after sampling for strength if they are
fine sand, over-consolidated clay and soft sandstone?
. !iscuss the factors which are relevant to the planning of a well-balanced
exploration programme.
". #f you are in charge of subsoil exploration of important structures, how do you
decide the depth of exploration? $ist the factors you will consider and their
importance.
