If the back fill is having a uniform surcharge of intensity q per unit area, the lateral pressure will be
Transporting and redepositing soils, is done by
A soil sample has passing 0.mm sieve =liquid limit =and plastic limit = 40%. The group index of the soil, is
The compression resulting from a long term static load and consequent escape of pore water, is known as
The void ratio of a soil sample decreases from 1.to 1.when the pressure is increased fromtonnes/m2 totonnes/m2, the coefficient of compressibility is
Depending upon the properties of a material, the failure envelope may
A sample of saturated soil haswater content and the specific gravity of soil grains is 2.The dry density of the soil mass in g/cm3, is
Pick up the correct statement from the following:
A moist soil sample of volumecc. weighsg and its dried weight is 86.4 g. If its absolute density is 2.the degree of saturation is
The plasticity index is the numerical difference between
Soil classification of composite soils, exclusively based on the particle size distribution, is known
The specific gravity of sands, is approximately
The ratio of the volume of voids to the total volume of the given soil mass, is known
If the coefficients of volume change and compressibility of a soil sample are respectively 6.x 10-2 and 3 x 10-2, the void ratio of the soil sample, is
The angle between the directions of the failure and the major principal plane, is equal to
The shear resistance of a soil is con-tituted basically of the following component.
g of wet soil was taken in a pycnometer jar of weightg in order to find the moisture content in the soil, with specific gravity of soil particles 2.The weight of soil and remaining water filled in pycnometer without air bubbles wasg and the weight of pycnometer filled with water alone wasg. The moisture content in the soil is
If the specific gravity and voids in soil sample are G and e respectively, the hydraulic gradient i, is
For shear strength, triaxial shear test is suitable because
Through a point in a loaded soil, the principal stress is maximum on
Maximum size of clay particles, is :
According to IS :-the composition of a dispersing solution used in pipette analysis for determining the size of particles, is
The capillary rise of water
The zero atmospheric pressure is at
If drainage is permitted throughout the test, during the application of both normal, and shear stresses so that full consolidation occurs and no excess pore pressure is set up at any stage of the test, is known as
