Question Paper
1. On which type of soil is unconfined compression shear test carried out? Explain, with the help of Mohr circles, how shear strength parameters are determined in this type of test.
2. What are the basic modes of failure of an earth slope Briefly outline the remedial measures that can be undertaken against failure of slope.
3. Draw IS plasticity chart showing various soil groups. Explain how this chart is used in the classification of soils.
4. Draw the line sketch of a triaxial compression test set-up and explain how the various shear strength tests based on drainage conditions can be conducted by this machine.
5. What is plasticity index? Write the equation of A-line in the plasticity chart. Also explain the significance of A-line.
6. Explain direct shear test and triaxial shear test in detail.
7. Explain Mohr-Coulomb strength envelope in detail.
8. Establish the relationship between bulk unit weight, specific gravity, void ratio and degree of saturation. What do you understand by consistency of soil Explain the different states of consistency.
9. Explain the method of slices for finding the factor of safety against slope failure.
