A standard penetration test has been conducted on a coarse sand at a depth of 16 ft below the ground surface. The blow counts ob

tained in the field were as follows:
0-6 in. 4 blows; 6-12 in.: 6 blows; 12-18 in.: 6 blows. The tests were conducted using a USA-style donut hammer in a 6-in diameter boring using a standard sampler with the liner installed. The vertical effective stress at the test depth was 1500 lb/ft^2. Determine N1.60.

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 $=1500 \ lb/ft^2$

                                              $= 71.82 \ kN/m^2$

                                             $ \sim 72 \ kN/m^2 $

Now,

$N_1=N_0 \left(\frac{350}{\bar{\sigma}+70} \right)$

$N_1 = $ corrected N - value of overburden

$\bar{\sigma}=$ effective stress at level of test

0 - 6 inch, $N_1=4 \left(\frac{350}{72+70} \right)$

                      = 9.86

6 - 12 inch, $N_1=6 \left(\frac{350}{72+70} \right) $

                        = 14.8

12 - 18 inch, $N_1=6 \left(\frac{350}{72+70} \right) $

                         = 14.8

$N_{avg}=\frac{9.86+14.8+14.8}{3}$

       = 13.14

       = 13

A program is seeded with 30 faults. During testing, 21 faults are detected, 15 of which are seeded faults and 6 of which are ind
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Estimated number of indigenous faults remaining undetected is 6

Explanation:

The maximum likelihood estimate of indigenous faults is given by,

N_F=n_F\times \frac{N_S}{n_S} here,

n_F = the number of unseeded faults = 6

N_S = number of seeded faults = 30

n_s = number of seeded faults found = 15

So NF will be calculated as,

N_F=6\times \frac{30}{15}=12

And the estimate of faults remaining is  N_F-n_F = 12 - 6 = 6
