Question Paper
1. Explain in detail the Indian System of Soil Classification.
2. Derive the equation e wG/100 which expresses the relationship between the void ratio the specific gravity and the moisture content for full saturation of voids.
3. What is Stokes' Law Under what conditions is this law valid? Discuss.
4. What are the factors affecting the permeability of soils? Discuss.
5. Explain and discuss the PRA Classification System.
6. What is the shearing strength of soil along a horizontal plane at a depth of 4 m in a deposit of sand having the following properties
0 Yd =17 G =2·7
Assume the ground water table is at a depth of 2·5 m from the ground surface. Also find the change in shear strength when the water table rises to the ground surface.
7. Differentiate and explain the following:
Compaction and Consolidation
Standard Proctor and Modified Proctor Tests
8. Describe briefly the Vane Shear Test to find undrained shear strength of soft clay in a laboratory. Give the merits and demerits of Vane Shear Test.
9. Write short notes on any two of the following:
Darcy's Law
Factors Influencing Compaction
Geotextiles
