Solution:

At a foundation site, there is an impervious stratum at 30 m and water table at 3 m below the ground surface. If the unit weight of the saturated soil is 18.84 kN/m³, what is the maximum depth of excavation without the possibility of a blow-out?

13.5 m

15.94 m

27.00 m

31.33 m

Solution:

While performing the groove test, if the cup is made to fall on a hard rubber surface, the soil sample at water content w₁ requires N₁ blows. If the cup is made to fall on a soft rubber surface, for the same w₁, the number of blows required is N₂. Which of the following conditions is correct?

N1 = N2

N1 > N2

none of the above

N1 < N2
