Conduct a literature review and summarize the historical development of the equations used for the design of cfa piles in granular soils
(i) Conduct a review and summarize the historical development of the equations used for the design of cfa piles in granular soils. Describe the tests that may be used to obtain the geotechnical parameters to be used in the design equations and comment on any assumptions and or errors that may be present.
(ii) Assuming that a site investigation comprising of shallow hand dug pits and rotary drilled boreholes, is to be undertaken in the centre of Wolverhampton, detail the activities that the designer must be able to demonstrate that he/she has performed in order to comply with the latest Health & Safety legislation?
