Solution :
Given :
The number of blows is given as :
0 - 6 inch = 4 blows
6 - 12 inch = 6 blows
12 - 18 inch = 6 blows
The vertical effective stress
Now,
corrected N - value of overburden
effective stress at level of test
0 - 6 inch,
= 9.86
6 - 12 inch,
= 14.8
12 - 18 inch,
= 14.8
= 13.14
= 13
Answer:
hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question
A) overall mean = 5.535, standard deviation ≈ 0.3239
B ) upper limit = 5.85, lower limit = 5.0
C) Not all the samples meet the contract specifications
D) fluctuation ( unstable Asphalt content )
Explanation:
B) The daily average asphalt content has to obtained in order to determine the upper and lower control limits using an average asphalt content of 5.5% +/- 0.5% everyday
The upper limit : 14 may = ( 5.8 + 5.1 ) / 2 = 5.85
The lower limit : 16 may = ( 5.2 + 4.8 ) / 2 = 5.0
attached below is the required plot
C ) Not all the samples meet the contract specifications and the samples that do not meet up are samples from :
15 may and 16 may . this is because their Asphalt contents are 6.2 and 4.8 respectively and sample number 18 and 20
D ) what can be observed is that the ASPHALT content fluctuates between the dates while the contract specification is fixed
