Bouyant force (Set on weight), BC
A) FOR GOOD SOIL IN HIGH WATER TABLE
Soil bulk density, BD 1.5 T/m3
Minimum depth of cover
Bulk density
Bulking factor
Submerge bulk density
Submerge and disturbed weight of over burden soil, WS
Buoyancy Control Formula:
where L is the center to center weight spacing.
Center to center weight spacing, L
B) FOR PARTIALLY GOOD SOIL IN HIGH WATER TABLE
Soil bulk density
At depth less than 2.0 m
Vane test result < 0.00025 N/mm²
Minimum depth of cover
Bulk density
Bulking factor
Submerge bulk density
Submerge and disturbed weight of over burden soil, WS
Center to center weight spacing, L
C) FOR POOR SOIL IN HIGH WATER TABLE
