4. A falling head test was performed on the setup shown below. The water reservoir connected to the top of the soil has a diameter of 6cm and the elevation is maintained at 3cm above the sample (see Figure 1). The water reservoir connected to the bottom of the soil has a diameter of 2cm. The soil sample has a diameter of 6cm, a length of 55cm, and a saturated unit weight of 20kN/m^3. When the test started, the difference in elevationbetween the two reservoirs was 80cm; 25 minutes later, the difference in elevation decreased to 50cm. Each porous stone is 1cm thick. a) What is the hydraulic conductivity of the soil in cm/s? b) What is the difference in elevation between both reservoirs 40 minutes after the test started? c) If the same specimen is subjected to a constant head test under a head difference (difference in elevation between the two reservoirs) of 60cm, how much water will you collect in 20 min? Would you use constant head test for this soil? Diagram ad the start of test 80cm zcm diameter ung. diameter H20 3cm Porous stone Icm 55cm Soil Icm 2.5cm

The surveying team used 30 m tape in measuring an inclined distance. The measured length on the slope was recorded to be 459.20m long. The difference in elevation between the initial point and the end point was found to be 1.25m. The 30 m tape is of standard length at a temperature of 10°C and a pull of 50N. During measurement the temperature reading was 15°C and tape was supported at both ends with an applied pull of 75 N. The cross-sectional area of the tape is 6.50 mm² and the modulus of elasticity is 200 GPa. The tape has a mass of 0.0075 kg/m. Determine the true horizontal distance. K=0.0000116 m/°C
Geotechnical Engineering (UPVOTE WILL BE GIVEN. PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION CORRECLTY. NO LONG EXPLANATION NEEDED. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.) In an experiment, a soil is dug out from the ground with weight equal to 1364 grams, then oven dried, and then saturated with water. The oven-dried weight was 1067 grams. After saturating with water, it weighed 1462 grams. If the volume of the test hole is comparable to the volume of a sphere with diameter of 11.48cm, a. determine the water content in % in in situ condition? b. determine the void ratio in % in in situ condition? c. determine the specific gravity of soil solids in in situ condition?
