(b) By three phase diagram show that the degree of saturation can be expressed interms of mass unit weight γ, water content w and specifi gravity of soil grains G, and unit weight of water.

i. Void ratio ii. Porosity iii. Degree of saturation.

or ld

(c) A soil sample weighing 16 KN/m3 has water content of 32%. The Specific gravity of soil particle is 2.65. Determine

[4+6+6]

2. (a) On sieve analysis it has been found that the soil contains 55% material passing 75 micron sieve. The liquid limit and plastic limit of soil are 40% and 15% respectively. Findout the group index of soil and hence comment on the suitability of soil as subgrade material. [8]

uW

(b) A wet weight of soil sample having a volume of 44.8 X103 mm3 is 85 g (0.85N). After overn drying the weight reduces to 76 g ( 0.76N). Find out degree of saturation if G=2.72. What would be the water content at full saturation. [8] 3. (a) What are the factors affecting the permeability of soil? Explain.

(b) A constant head permeability test has been carried out on a soil sample, 10 cm in diameter and 15 cm long. With a hydraulic head of 30 cm, 300 c.c of water has been collected in 15 minutes time. Compute the coefficient of permeability of soil. [8] 4. (a) What is quick sand? Derive an expression for critical hydraulic graduicut. [8]

Aj

(b) The ground water level in a deposit of fine sand is 1.5 m below ground level. Above the water table, the sand is saturated with capillary water. The bulk unit weight of sand is 21 kN/m3 . Calculate the total stress, the neutral stress and the effective stress at a depth of 1 m from the ground level. [8]

5. (a) Derive the expression for vertical pressure under strip load. (b) The uniform intensity of loading at the foundation level of a building is 10m in width and very great extent in length, with the intensity of loading of 100 kN/m2 . Using Newmark’s chart, find the vertical stress at the depth of 1m under the center line and the edge of the building. Check your answers by analytical solution. [8+8] 1 of 2

7. (a) Distinguish between normally consolidated and overconsolidated soils.

[4]

(b) Explain in detail any one method for determining the coefficient of consolidation of soil. [4]

or ld

(c) The void ratio of a clay is 1.56, and its compression index is found to be 0.8 at Pressure of 180 kN/m2 . What will be the void ratio if the pressure is increased To 240 kN/m2 ? [8]

8. (a) What are the advantages and disadvantages of direct shear test over triaxial test? [8] (b) Derive the equation relating Skempton’s pore pressure parameters with the increments of pore pressure, major and minor principal stresses. [8]
