Hydrated lime Ca(OH)₂ can be effectively used for stabilization of which type of soil?

The time for one complete oscillation of the mass in the spring system is called the _________

In a finite slope, when the failure surface intersects the slope above the toe region, it is said to be

Which of the following is not an assumption of Terzaghi's bearing capacity theory?

A concentrated load of 50 t acts vertically at a point on the soil surface. Using Boussinesq's equation, the ratio of vertical stresses at depths of 3 m and 5 m, respectively, vertically below the point of application of the load is:

Ultimate bearing capacity of soil is the:

A 3 m high vertical earth retaining wall retains a dry granular backfill with angle of internal friction of 30^o and unit weight of 20 kN/m³. If the wall is prevented from yielding (no movement) the total horizontal thrust (in kN per unit length) of the wall is

An excavation is made with a vertical face in a clay soil which has cohesion (c_u) = 50 kN/m², unit weight (γ_t) = 18 kN/m³. The maximum depth of excavation so that the excavation is stable if the stability number (S_n) = 0.261 for a slope angle (β) of 90 degrees.
