    The document provides information from geotechnical investigations carried out for a construction project. It includes soil test results from three boreholes, including standard penetration tests, sieve analyses, and sedimentation tests. Based on these soil test results, the student is asked to: 1. Analyze the standard penetration test results. 2. Classify the soil based on grain size analysis from samples taken at different depths. 3. Develop up to three stratigraphic sections to represent the subsurface conditions.

    Exercise
    eng. phd Luca Piciullo

    The area shown in the figure has been chosen for the realization of a 4-floors building. Geotechnical investigations have been
    carried out along three vertical (S1, S2, S3). Moreover, the installation of piezometric cells showed the presence of a
    piezometric line coinciding with the ground surface.
    Referring to the results of boring works (Figure 2), verify if it is possible to build n. 3 stratigraphic sections to be taken as
    reference in the subsequent identification of the geotechnical model of the subsoil.

    1. Let's elaborate the results of


    the dynamic penetration
    tests (SPT, Standard Penetration Test) performed along the vertical survey (Table 1).
    2. Classify the soil taking into account the granulometry of the 4 samples taken along the vertical S1 and S2, for
    which the sieve analysis (Table 2) and the sedimentation (Table 3) have been carried out in the labs.
