SM and SC

MS and CS

Solution:

The Liquid limit of a soil mass is 20% and its Plastic limit is 25%. What is the Plasticity index?

-5%

None of these

Solution:

Calculate the hydraulic gradient for a coarse - grained soil deposit with void ratio of 0.7. Take G = 2.67. (Answer format - X.XX)

Solution:

As per Indian Standard soil classification system (IS:1498-1970), an expression for A-line is:

Ip = 0.73(w_L-20)

Ip = 0.70(w_L-20)

Ip = 0.73(w_L-10)

Ip = 0.70(w_L-10)

Solution:

17.4%

12.36%

11.2%

18.9%

Solution:

Which of the following shear tests are developed based on drainage conditions?

Direct shear test

None of the mentioned

All of the mentioned

Undrained test and Consolidated undrained test

Solution:

If the void ratios of a sand deposit in its densest, loosest, and natural conditions are 0.3, 0.7, and 0.4 respectively, what is the relative density of the sand deposit in percentage?

1.33

0.75

75%

25%

Solution:

Water Is flowing at the rate of 0.1 cum/sec in an upward direction through the sand of permeability 2 x 10^-3 cm/s. The thickness of the sand sample is 10 cm and the cross-sectional area is 50 cm². The effective stress at middle of sample is (Take Ysat = 2 gm/cm³)
