Mai shook her head. Standard compaction wouldn't reach the depth needed. She thought of —the one about vertical stress increase under a strip footing. She needed to consolidate the soft layer.
If they preloaded the site with 2 meters of fill for 45 days, the settlement ((S_c)) would be 15 cm. That was acceptable. But the client wanted zero settlement in 30 days.
Mastering Geotechnical Engineering: Your MATHalino-Style Guide
Mai stared at the SPT (Standard Penetration Test) results. The N-value—the number of blows required to drive the sampler 300mm—was a pathetic . In Mathalino terms, that was a "loose to very loose" cohesionless soil. In layman’s terms, it was mud pretending to be earth.
