1.25

1.5

1.75

Solution:

The flow net constructed for the dam is shown in the figure below. Taking the coefficient of permeability as 3.8 x 10^-6 m/s, the quantity of flow (up to 2 decimal places, in cm³/s) under the dam per meter of dam is_____.

Solution:

Find out the ratio of coefficient of passive and active earth pressure of a backfill. When the movement of wall under the earth pressure from the backfill was prevented the coefficient of earth pressure was recorded as 0.5.

1/9

1/3

Solution:

What is the correct equation for vertical stress (σ_z) using Newmark's influence chart, where I = influence coefficient, n = number of sectors occupied by the footing, and q = intensity of loading?

σ_z = q(I/n)

σ_z = I × n × q

σ_z = q(n/I)

σ_z = q(n-I)

Solution:

Laboratory sieve analysis was carried out on a soil sample using a complete set of standard IS sieves. Out of 500 g of soil used in the test, 200 g was retained on IS 600 µ sieve, 250 g was retained on IS 500 µ sieve and the remaining 50 g was retained on IS 425 µ sieve.
The coefficient of uniformity of the soil is

0.9

1.0

1.1

1.2

Solution:

A sand layer is 5 m deep, and under it is a 5 m deep clay layer. The saturated unit weight of the sand is 20 kN/m³, and the saturated unit weight of the clay is 19 kN/m³. The water table is at the top of the sand layer. If the water level drops by 3 m but the zone above the water level is still saturated by capillary action, what is the effective stress at the bottom of the clay layer?

30 kN/m²

125 kN/m²

95 kN/m²

None of the above
