Solution:

An undisturbed soil has a plastic limit of 25% and moisture content 40% and liquidity index of 50% then its liquid limit is?

Solution:

The intensity of vertical pressure (in t/m²) directly below a concentrated load of 50 tons at a depth of 5 m is given by:

0.54 t/m^2

0.67 t/m^2

0.77 t/m^2

0.95 t/m^2

Solution:

A 3 m high vertical carth retaining wall retains a dry granular backfill with angle of internal friction of 30° and unit weight of 20kN/m³. If the wall is prevented from yielding (no movement), the total horizontal thrust (in kN per unit length) on the wall is

Solution:

When a capillary tube of uniform cross-section is lifted from the water surface, what will happen to the water in the tube?

None of the mentioned

The water will be retained in the tube

The water will not be retained in the tube

The water will be partially retained in the tube

Solution:

Sieve analysis on a dry soil sample of mass 1000g showed that 980g and 270g of soil pass through 4.75mm and 0.075mm sieve, respectively. The liquid limit and plastic limits of the soil fraction passing through 425 µ sieves are 40% and 18% respectively. The soil may be classified as

Solution:

The permeability of soil in the x and y directions are 4.5 and 2.2 m/day, respectively. The base length of the concrete dam resting on the soil is 150 m. The flow net is developed with a scale factor of 1:30 in the vertical direction. What is the reduced base length of the dam?

2.43
