    This document contains 5 individual assignments involving calculations related to soil mechanics. The first two assignments calculate area ratios and undrained shear strength values for a tube and soil profile. The third and fourth assignments use penetration test data and equations to calculate corrected penetration numbers and relative density for two sand deposits. The fifth assignment uses time of arrival data from a refraction survey to calculate layer thicknesses and P-wave velocities.

    0 to a depth of 12 m is 17.6 kN/m3. Assume that the mean grain size (D50) of the sand
    deposit to be about 0.8 mm. Estimate the variation of the relative density with depth for
    sand. Use Eq. (3.23).
