Uniform

Non uniform

None

Solution:

Write true and false in the answer book
The derivation of the ultimate bearing capacity of a strip footing is an extension of the case of passive earth pressure on a rough wall.

Solution:

A sandy loam backfill has cohesion of 12 kN/sq m and phi = 20 degrees, the unit weight = 17 kN/cum. What is the depth of tension crack? (in m; round off to the nearest whole no.)

Solution:

A 588 cm³ volume of moist sand weighs 1010 gm. Its dry weight is 918 gm and specific gravity of solids, G is 2.67. Assuming density of water as 1gm/cm3, the void ratio (up to 2 decimal places) is _____.

Solution:

Excavation was carried out for foundation in saturated plastic clay with unit weight = 22.5 kN/cum. Failure occurs at a depth of 8.10m, find the value of cohesion. (Answer format - XX.XX m; round off to the nearest decimal.

Solution:

In the Atterberg limits of soil consistency, when the water content of soil moves from the liquid limit to the plastic limit, the consistency of the soil attains which stage?

Liquid stage

Solid stage

Plastic stage

Semi-solid stage

Solution:

A soil has specific gravity of its solids equal to 2.65. The mass density of water 1000 kg/m³. Considering zero air voids and 10 % moisture content of the soil sample, the dry density (in kg/m³, round off to 1 decimal place) would be_____.

Solution:

When seepage is parallel to the slope of a cohesionless soil, having friction angle of 33^o and submerged unit weight of 8.3 Kn/m³. Find the factor of safety against slope failure of soil inclined at an angle of 9^o upto two decimal places. Take Y_w= 9.81 Kn/m³.

Solution:

The compression curve (void ratio, e v/s effective stress, ϭ’_v) for a certain clayey soil is a straight line in a semi-logarithmic plot and it passes through the points.
(e = 1.2; ϭ’_v = 50 kPa) and
(e = 0.6, ϭ’_v = 800 kPa), The compression index (up to two decimal places) of the soil is____.

Solution:

A drained triaxial compression test on a saturated clayey soil, yielded the effective shear strength parameters as C’ = 15kPa and Φ’ = 22^o. Consolidated Undrained triaxial test on an identical sample of this clay at a cell pressure of 200 kPa developed a pore water pressure of 150 kPa at failure. The deviator stress (up to two decimal places, expressed in kPa) at failure is _______.
