Question 1
A) Compare between the modulus of subgrade reaction and the elastic mcdulus of sci I.
B) For the two columns shown in Figure (1), suggest a suitable type of shallow foundation, then give a
complete design of the suggested foundation system (dimensions and reinforcement). Thickness of
plain concrete footing is 25 em, and the allowable net soil bearing capacity is 12 ton/m2 Draw neat
sketches showing concrete dimensions and reinforcement details in plan and elevation, (scale 1 :
50).

Question 2
The R. C. strip footing shown in Figure (2) is 2.0 x 6.0 meters and carries two columns 3.0 meters center
to center. Each column is subjected to: N = 1000 kN and M = 50 kN.m at opposite directions. The
footing is divided into 6 elements. It is required to:
a) Determine the contact stress below the footing on the basis of Winkler assumptions.
(Kso = 2500 kN/m3, thickness of footing is 120 em).
b) Determine the contact stress under the footing, assuming the soil to be elastic,
homogenous, isotropic and semi-infinite. (Co=1.33, C1=0.52. C2=0.30, C3=0.20. C1=O.16,
C5=O.12), Ec= 2000 kN/cm2, Es=1200 kN/m2, thickness of footing is120 em.
e) Compare between the two solutions and explain the differences. .

Question 3
A) Evaluate the following statements (right or wrong) and comment on your evaluation (Any answer
without comments is not accepted):
1. Bored piles are the most suitable piling technique in city centers beside historical buildings.
2. Bentonite slurry is suitable to be used to stabilize the drilling hole during construction of lar::,.2
diameter bored piles in sandy soil.
3. Static pile load tests should be performed at least on 50% of working piles.
4. Mobilization of more than 80% of pile skin friction needs large settlement.
5. In a pile group under tension loads, the own weight of soil between the piles can govern the
pullout resistance of the pile group.
6. In a pile group that is connected with a rigid pile cap and subjected to horizontal load, the front
piles have smaller load than the rear piles.
8) Results of geotechnical investigation at a site showed that the soil profile. as shown in Figure (3).
consists of a thick layer of very dense sand down to 20.0 m followed by rock formations. A bridge
pier has working load (dead and live loads including the weight of the pile cap) of 4051)0 1<.1 is to be
founded on large diameter bored piles with pile diameter of 1.20 m in the sand layer. The pile lengih
is 15 m. The foundation depth is just at the ground water table that lies 2.0 m below ground surface.
Nine piles were arranged below the pile cap, as shown in Figure (3). The following are required:
1. Calculate the settlement of the pile group.
2. If the settlement of the single pile under a working load of 4500 kN is 8 mrn, calculate the pile
group action.

from the following list:
Figure (4)
A) Redraw the dam cross -section in the answering sheet, showing the following;
i) Choice for each zone interm of geotechnical design of the dam from the listed material.
ii) For each zone, the required instrumentation to check the validity of the dam design.

Question 6
B) Figure (5) shows two sides of excavation [side A and side BI. which are planned to be supported
using anchored-free secant pile walls with grouted tiebacks. For the secant piles, the diameter of
the R.C. pile is 0 8 m and lhe diameter of the plastic concrete pile is 0.6 rn, with an overlap of 0.15
m. It is required to:
1. Determine the relatively more critical side (which is more critical: wall condition on side A or
wall condition on side B?)
2. For the critical side wall:
i) Estimate the safe penetration depth:
ii) Calculate the maximum moment per each R.C. pile
iii) Estimate the tension force in each tieback
IV) Determine the maximum moment on the wale
v) Determine the free length of the tieback
vi) Draw neal sketch showing the connection between the tieback, wale and the wall

Question (6-B):
1) Wall on side (B) is more critical than wall on side (A) because;
1- Tension cracks will exist in side (A) due to cohesion (c) of the clayey silt soil and non-presence
of a surcharge and this will result in decreasing active E.P. acting on the wall on side (A).
2- The compacted fill on side (B) results in an E.P. as it is cohesion-less soil which will result in
an active E.P. without tension cracks. Also, the surcharge will increase the active earth pressure.
:,- The unit weight ofthe compacted fill is higher than that of the clayey silt, which leads 10 higher
value of active earth pressure,

2.1 Evaluate the following statements (right or wrong) and comment on your evaluation (Any ilnswer
without comments will not be accepted):
i. Boredpiles are the most suitablepiling technique In off-shore structure
ii. Bentoniteslurry is suitable to be used to stabilize the driliing hole during construction of large
diameterbored piles in sandysoil.
iii. Pile integritytest is a quick and economic way to determine ultimate pile capacity.
iv. Pile skin friction is mobilized under relatively small displacements where pile base resistance
needs relatively large displacementsto be mobilized.
v. In a pile group under tension loads, the own weight of soil between the piles can govern the
pulloutresistance of the pile group.
vi. In a pile group that is connected with a rigid pile cap and subjected to horizontal load, the
horizontalloads are distributed equally among all piles.
vii. Settlementof pile group under vertical compression load is smaller that the settlement of the
single pile under average load.

EXAlVIPLE:
An excavation works will be carried out in the site shown in Figure (1). An
anchored free diaphragm wall will be used as a shoring system. It is required to:
1) Design the critical wall side using the critical load case. Explain your reason
for selecting the critical side.
2) Calculate the safe penetration depth of the wall.
3) Calculate the force in the tie back.
4) Design the R.C waling beam. Sketch the main R.F.T.
5) Design the diaphragm wall. Sketch R.F.T details.
6) Calculate the total length of the tieback.
7) If a secant pile wall will be used instead of the diaphragm wall. Calculate the
maximum bending moment on each R.e. pile, if the diameter of the R.C.
pile is 120 em, and the diameter of the plastic concrete pile is 60 em, with
overlap of 15 em. Also, calculate the quantity of reinforced and plastic
concrete needed to construct the secant piles.
8) If the foundation level of the adjacent building was 4.0 111 lower than the
current foundation level. Suggest the suitable anchorage system. Explain
your choice. Sketch the anchorage system arrangement on plan.

i) Stability of tunnel face when using bentonite slurry TBM of Cairo Metro
tunnels.

the following cases:
i) The two tunnels have the same diameter and depth below ground
surface with large distance between their center lines.

small distance between their centerlines.

IO.Allowable pile load is determined only from the ultimate load by applying a
factor of safety.
[ L Pile skin friction is fully mobilized at small settlement value.
12. Settlement of a pile group is bigger than the settlement of the corresponding
single pile under the same average load.
13. Pile integrity test can help as quality control and quality ?~,,"r:tnc:e.
14. Pile allowable load can be determined from integrity tests.
15. Pile integrity test can determine the change in the 'pile cross section.
Results of geotechnical investigation at a site showed that, the soil profile (Figure 5) consists
of a thick layer of sand down to 13 m followed by a layer of silty sand with 6.0 m thickness. A
very dense sand layer was found extended from depth 19 rn below the ground surface. A
column with working load (dead and Jive loads) of 9000 leN is to be founded on a group of
driven piles with pile diameter of 0.5 m in the upper sand layer. The allowable pile load
should be 1200 kN considering a factor of safety (F.S. = 3.0). It is required to:
a) Determine the required pile length in the upper sand layer.
b) Determine the required number of piles to support the given coLumn load. .
c) Draw a sketch showing the pile cap dimension and the distribution 'of pile beneath it.
d) Calculate the settlement ofthe pile group assuming that the settlement is controlled only
by the silty sand layer. .
e) If the settlement of the single pile under working loads is 5 mm, calculate the pile group.
