Solution:
A fine grained soil has 60% (by weight) silt content. The soil behaves as semi-solid when water content is between 15 and 28%. The soil behaves fluid-like when the water content is more than 40%. The ‘Activity’ of the soil is
Solution:
A 6m thick clay undergoes 90% consolidation four times faster under two-way drainage as compared to one way drainage. In an identical clay layer of 15 m thickness, two-way drainage will be faster as compared to one-way drainage by
Solution:
The water content of a saturated soil and the specific gravity of soil were found to be 30% and 2.70 respectively. Assuming the unit weight of water to be 10 kN/m3, the saturated unit weight (kN/m3) and the void ratio of the soil are
