Options- A. Curve 1 : Loose sand and normally consolidated clay
Curve 2 : Loose sand and over consolidated clay - B. Curve 1 : Dense sand and normally consolidated clay
Curve 2 : Loose sand and over consolidated clay - C. Curve 1: Dense sand and over consolidated clay
Curve 2: Loose sand and normally consolidated clay - D. Curve 1: Loose sand and over consolidated clay
Curve 2: Dense sand and normally consolidated clay - Correct Answer
- Curve 1: Dense sand and over consolidated clay
Curve 2: Loose sand and normally consolidated clay
- 1. A test plate 30 cm x 30 cm resting on a sand deposit settles by 10 mm under a certain loading intensity. A footing 150 cm x 200 cm resting on the same sand deposit and loaded to the same load intensity settles by
Options- A. 2.0 mm
- B. 27.8 mm
- C. 3.02 mm
- D. 50.0 mm Discuss
- 2. Two completely penetrating wells are located L (in metres) apart, in homogeneous confined aquifer. The drawdown measured at the mid point between the two wells (at a distance of 0.5 L from both the wells) is 2.0 m when only the first well is being pumped at the steady rate of Q1 m3/sec. When both the wells are being pumped at identical steady rate of Q2 m3/sec, the drawdown measured at the same location is 8, 0 m. It may be assumed that the drawdown at the wells always remains at 10.0 m when being pumped and the radius of influence is larger than 0.5 L Q1/Q2 is equal to
Options- A. 8/5
- B. 4/3
- C. 5/8
- D. ln (L/2) Discuss
- 3. Cavitation is caused by
Options- A. high velocity
- B. low pressure
- C. high pressure
- D. high temperature Discuss

Options- A. SS and CS
- B. SM and CS
- C. SM and SC
- D. MS and CS Discuss
- 6. For a 'best' symmetrical trapezoidal section of an open channel with a given area of section and side slopes, one of the following statements holds true :
