A cone penetration test was carried out in normally consolidated sand, for which the results are summarized below: Depth (m) Cone resistance, qc (MN/m2 ) 2.0 3.12 3.5 4.25 5.0 5.14 6.5 9.23 8.0 12.2 The average unit weight of the sand is 16.5 kN/m3 . Determine the friction angle at each depth using Eq. (3.52)

Sagot :

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the missing equation related to the question  

answer : 40.389° , 38.987° , 38° , 39.869° , 40.265°

Explanation:

Determine the friction angle at each depth

attached below is the detailed solution

To calculate the vertical stress = depth * unit weight of sand

also inverse of Tan = Tan^-1

also qc is in Mpa while σ0 is in kPa

Friction angle at each depth

2 meters = 40.389°

3.5 meters  = 38.987°

5 meters = 38.022°

6.5 meters = 39.869°

8 meters = 40.265°
