    This document provides a midterm question from a foundation engineering course asking students to analyze soil properties from a Cone Penetration Test (CPT) log. The student is asked to: 1) Classify the soil between depths of 0-10 feet and 40-50 feet, 2) Calculate the dry unit weight, 3) Calculate the effective friction angle, 4) Calculate the coefficient of uniformity, and 5) Interpret a spike in the CPT data at a depth of 77 feet. The student is provided the CPT log, unit weight of soil, overconsolidation ratio, and groundwater depth to perform the calculations and analysis in SI units.

    Q2- Using the CPT log given below, a unit weight of 18 kN/m3, (115 lb/ft3) and an over-
    consolidation ratio of 3, compute the following for the soils located between depths of 0 and 10
    ft, 40 and 50 ft. (1 ft = 0.3048 Meters, 1 tsf = 1kg/cm2)
    Using the groundwater depth of 15ft below the ground surface.
    a) Soil classification, (8 pts)
    b) Dr, (3 pts)
    c) ϕ`, (3pts)
    d) Cu, (3pts)
    e) What is the significance of the spike in the plots at a depth of 77ft? (3 pts)
    Note: Perform all the calculations in SI units. Clearly stating your assumptions.
