Solution:

A plate load test was conducted on a 30 cm square plate. The plate settles by 15 mm under a load of 4.8 kN in a sandy soil. By how much will a 2 m x 2 m footing subjected to a load of 213.3 kN settle?

46.37 mm

Solution:

A shear vane of 7 cm diameter and 11 cm length was used to measure the shear strength of a soft clay. If a torque of 700 kg-cm was required to shear the soil, then the shear strength of the soil is

5/22 kg/cm²

5/66 kg/cm²

15/22 kg/cm²

15/66 kg/cm²

Solution:

When a load test was conducted by putting a 60 cm square plate on top of a sandy soil deposit, the ultimate bearing capacity was observed as 60 kN/m². What is the ultimate bearing capacity for a strip footing of 1.2 m width to be placed on the surface of the same soil?

75 kN/m^2

120 kN/m^2

150 kN/m^2

160 kN/m^2

Solution:

A granular soil has a saturated unit weight of 20 kN/m³and an effective angle of shearing resistance of 30^o. The unit weight of water is 9.81 kN/m³. A slope is to be made on this soil deposit in which the seepage occurs parallel to the slope up to the free surface. Under this seepage condition for a factor of safety of 1.5, the safe slope angle (in degree, round off to 1 decimal place) would be
