Solution:

If a maximum settlement of 50 mm is permitted for a raft, the differential settlement must not exceed _____

25 mm

10 mm

20 mm

30 mm

Solution:

Waterlogging of an area leads to what?

Decrease in salt content

Decrease in soil temperature

Easier cultivation operations

Decrease in wild vegetation

Solution:

The observed N-value from a standard penetration test conducted in saturated sandy strata is 40. The N-value corrected for dilatancy is:

22.5

27.5

29.5

Solution:

A saturated stiff clay has a unit weight of 3 g/cm³ and an unconfined compressive strength of 1.5 kg/cm². The depth of the tension crack that would develop in the clay is:

3 m

6 m

5 m

10 m

Solution:

The action of negative friction on the pile is

Increase the ultimate load on the pile

Reduce the allowable load on the pile

Maintain the working load on the pile

Reduce the settlement of the pile

Solution:

The effect of negative skin friction on a pile is to:

Reduce the settlement of the pile

Increase the ultimate load capacity of the pile

Reduce the allowable load on the pile

Maintain the working load on the pile

Solution:

The plate load test was conducted on a clayey-strata by using a plate of 0.3 m x 0.3 m dimensions and the ultimate load per unit area for the plate was found to be 180 kPa. The ultimate bearing capacity (in kPa) of a 2m wide square footing would be

180

1200

2000

Solution:

A pile of 0.50 m diameter and length 10 m is embedded in a deposit of clay. The undrained strength parameters of the clay are cohesion = 60 kN/m² and the angle in internal friction = 0. The skin friction capacity (kN) of the pile for an adhesion factor of 0.6 is

671

565

283

106

Solution:

Given that for an over-consolidated clay soil deposit, the maximum pressure under which the deposit has been fully consolidated in the past is 125 kN/m², and the present overburden pressure is 75 kN/m², the Overconsolidation Ratio (OCR) of the soil deposit is:

75/125

50/75

125/75

75/50
