The water content of soil is defined as the ratio of
When drainage is permitted under initially applied normal stress only and full primarily consolidation is allowed to take place, the test is known as
The fluid generally used for grouting is
The seepage force in a soil, is
A compacted soil sample usingmoisture content has a weight ofg and mass unit weight of 2.0 g/cm3. If the specific gravity of soil particles and water are 2.7 and 1.the degree of saturation of the soil is
A flow line makes angles θ1 and θ2 with the normal to the interface of the soils having permeabilities k1, k2 before and after deflection. According to the law of deflection of the flow lines at the interface of the dissimilar soils
