Determine the shrinkage limit of a soil with a specific gravity of 2.65 and a void ratio of 0.65. The water content of the soil was found to be 0.25.

A vane 10.5 cm long and 9 cm in diameter was pressed into a soft clay. Torque was applied, and the value at failure was 50 N⋅m. Then, the shear strength (in kN/m²) of the clay on a horizontal plane is:

The plate load test conducted with a 75 cm diameter plate on soil subgrade yielded a deflection of 2.5 mm under a stress of 800 N/cm². The modulus of elasticity of the subgrade soil, in kN/cm² is

The water level in a river is 7 m above the river bed. The saturated unit weight of the river bed soil is 20 kN/m³. The unit weight of water is 10 kN/m³. Calculate the effective stress (in kN/m²) at a depth of 4 m below the river bed.

The relationship between water content (w%) and number of blows (N) in soils, as obtained from Casagrande's liquid limit apparatus, is given by w = 20 - log₁₀N. If the soil is saturated with a specific gravity of 2.67, the void ratio value is _____.

An isotropic soil deposit has coefficient of permeability in vertical and horizontal directions as k_z and k_x respectively. For constructing a flow net, the horizontal dimension of the problem’s geometry is transformed by a multiplying factor of
