In fully saturated soil, how much air content will be present?

The over-consolidation ratio (OCR) for a normally consolidated soil is

The Poisson's ratio value for a given soil type is between 0.1 and 0.3. Identify the soil type.

For a sample of dry, cohesionless soil with friction angle φ, the failure will be inclined to the major principal plane by an angle equal to

The clay deposit of thickness 10 cm and void ratio 0.5 undergoes settlement and now its final void ratio is 0.2. The thickness (cm) of the settlement layer is:

The relative density is used to express the relative compactness of a natural soil deposit for which type of soil?

The correct sequence of plasticity of minerals in soil in an increasing order is

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

A Pycnometer test for the determination of specific gravity yielded the following data:

Weight of empty pycnometer (W1) = 1000 g

Weight of pycnometer + soil sample (oven dry) (W2) = 1675 g

Weight of pycnometer + soil solids + water (W3) = 1750 g

Weight of pycnometer + water (W4) = 1500 g

Compute the specific gravity of the soil sample.

A square footing of 2m sides rests on the surface of a homogeneous soil bed having the properties: cohesion c = 24kPa angle of internal friction d = 25 degrees and unit weight y = 18 kN/m³ Terzaghi's bearing capacity factor theta = 25 degrees are N_{c} = 25.1, N_{a} = 12.7, N_{y} = 9.7, N c ^ prime = 14.8, N^ prime a =5.6, and N y ^ prime =3.2. The ultimate bearing capacity of the foundation (in kPa) is
