Soil Mechanics And Foundation Set 1

Dispersed type of soil structure is an arrangement comprising particles having

Physical properties of a permeant which influence permeability are

If the volume of voids is equal to the volume of solids in a soil mass, then the values of porosity and voids ratio respectively are

Unconfmed compressive strength test is

In a triaxial compression test when drainage is allowed during the first stage (i. e. application of cell pressure) only and not during the second stage (i.e. application of deviator stress at constant cell pressure), the test is known as

A normally consolidated clay settled 10 mm when effective stress was increased from 100 kN/m2 to 200 kN/ m2. If the effective stress is further increased from 200 kN/ m2 to 400 kN/ m2, then the settlement of the same clay is

The total discharge from two wells situated near to each other is

Direct measurement of permeability of the specimen at any stage of loading can be made

The rise of water table below the foundation influences the bearing capacity of soil mainly by reducing

The total and effective stresses at a depth of 5 m below the top level of water in a swimming pool are respectively
