Problem 3 (60 Points): For the profile below, find the factor of safety against liquefaction at point A if the expected maximum acceleration is 0.35g from a magnitude 6.5 earthquake, if: a) The soil is a clean sand (0% fines) b) The soil is a silty sand (55% fines) Assume the unit weights remain the same If the water table at the ground y 110 pct Other Data: 10 6" borehole Safety hammer 5 y-120 pct AtA, N17
