At what pH value does the soil become more alkaline and infertile?

8.5

9.5

Solution:

When a loose saturated sand deposit is subjected to a dynamic load, its shear strength will

increase

decrease

remain the same

cannot be determined

Solution:

Which of the following soil stabilization techniques is used for clayey soil?

Mechanical stabilization

Cement stabilization

Lime stabilization

Chemical stabilization

Solution:

The purpose of a plate load test is to estimate

Settlement of the foundation

Depth of the foundation

Bearing capacity of the foundation

Both bearing capacity and settlement of the foundation

Solution:

Negative skin friction in a soil is considered when the pile is constructed through a recently placed fill material on compressible soil.

Recently placed fill material

Dense coarse sand

Over consolidated stiff clay

Dense fine sand

Solution:

In local shear failure, the failure surface does not reach the ground surface because:

Ultimate bearing capacity is not well defined

None of the above

Failure is defined by large deformations

There is compression of soil under the footing

Solution:

A 300mm square bearing plate settles by 15mm in a plate load test on a cohesive soil when the intensity of loading is 0.25 N/mm². The settlement of a 5m long square shallow footing for the same intensity of loading is:

15mm

25mm

50mm

250mm

Solution:

The skin frictional capacities of a 40cm x 40cm driven concrete pile for the portions A, B, and C are 18.5kN, 45.6kN, and 607kN respectively. The point load capacity is 10500 kN/m². What is the total pile load capacity?

2323 kN

2351 kN

2350 kN

2352 kN

Solution:

Which of the following statements are correct regarding Westergaard's equation?

It is based on the isotropic behavior of soil.

It is best suited for layered soil deposits.

It is based on assumptions that the soil is laterally supported and only vertical movement is possible.

Influence factor is higher than that of Boussinesq's equation.

Solution:

A stratum of sand and a stratum of clay have the same thickness of 3 m. The coefficient of compressibility of sand is one-fifth of the coefficient of compressibility of clay, and the permeability of sand is 10,000 times that of the clay. Assuming the same initial void ratio, the ratio of the consolidation time for the clay to that of the sand for the same degree of consolidation is:

20,000

30,000

40,000

50,000
