Failure of a slope occurs only when total shear force is
The inventor of the term soil mechanics, was
Sedimentation analysis is based on the assumption:
Pick up the correct definition from the following:

A plane inclined at an angle φ to the horizontal at which the soil is expected to stay in the absence of any lateral support, is known as
The critical exist gradient of seepage water in soils, increases with
A soil sample of mass specific gravity 1.has a moisture content 30%. If the specific gravity of solids is 2.the void ratio, is
In a fow net
A direct shear test possesses the following disadvantage:
For a base failure of a slope, depth factor
Pick up the correct statement from the following:
If voids ratio is 0.water content is 0.and specific gravity is 2.the degree of saturation of the soil, is
The intensity of active earth pressure at a depth ofmetres in dry cohesionless sand with an angle of internal friction ofand with a weight of 1.8 t/m3, is
Hydrometer readings are corrected for:
Compression of soil occurs rapidly if voids are filled with
The maximum pressure which a soil can carry without shear failure, is called
Tergazhi's theory of one dimensional consolidation assumes
The ratio of the weight of water to the weight of solids in a given mass of soil, is known
The ratio of the volume of water present in a given soil mass to the total volume of its voids, is known
Through a point in a loaded soil mass, there exists n typical planes mutually orthogonal on which the stress is wholly normal and no shear stress acts, if n is
A critical hydraulic gradient may occur when
Chemical weathering of soil is caused due to
