Q 1.(a)Propose the basic concept of penetration test of bitumen. Discuss the penetration value used in different areas and its limitation
A recently completed fill was 6m thick and it's initial average void ratio was 1.0. The fill was loaded on the surface by constructing an embankment covering a large area of the fill.Measurement of the fill after 5 months indicated an average void ratio of 0.8 Estimate the compression of the fill after 5 months Estimate the total compression of the fill after one year assuming the average void ratio after one year
silty clay encountered in a deep excavation is found to have a moisture content of 20%. Guess its void ratio and bulk density remarking on your assumption .
For any C–U- or U–U-type test, what is the magnitude of excess pore water pressure existing in the soil at shear failure is indicated from?
An exploratory drill hole was made in a stiff saturated clay having a moisture content of 38.9% and Gs = 2.34 as shown in the figure. The sand layer underlying the clay was observed to be under artesian pressure. Water in the drill hole rose to a height of 13.8 ft above the top of sand layer. If an open excavation is to be made in the clay, determine the (a) unit weight of the clay, and the (b) maximum cut before the bottom heaves.
In an Oedometer test, the void ratio of a clay decreased from 0.652 to 0.51 under change in effective pressure from 60 KPa to 130 KPa. Under two-way drainage (for the same test) it was found that the required time to achieve 50% tso consolidation was 12 mins with the sample of thickness 12mm. Find the coefficient of permeability of the clay for the given stress range. No wrong answers please i will downvote and box the final answer
A consolidated-undrained triaxial test was conducted on a clay soil with a chamberconfining pressure of 270 kN/m2. Calculate the deviator stress and the pore waterpressure at failure. Given,  ‘= 36.4oand  = 21.7o.
