Question 1

In a drained triaxial test, a saturated specimen of cohesionless sand fails under a deviator stress of 5.35 kg/cm2 when the cell pressure is 1.5 kg/cm2. The inclination of the failure plane to the horizontal is

Question 2

A soil has an angle of shearing of 30° and cohesion of 35 kN/m2. If the specimen of this soil is subjected to a tri-axial compression test, then the value of lateral pressure in the cell for failure to occur at total stress of 300 kN/m2 will be

Question 3

1. The presence of free ammonia in water indicates the presence of undecomposed organic matter and for potable waters, its value should not exceed 0.15 mg/l.
2. The partly oxidized organic matter in water in the form of nitrites, may not be harmful.
3. Once the flora of the intestinal tract has fully developed, usually after the age of six months, nitrate conversion to nitrite and subsequent methemoglobinemia from drinking water is seldom a problem.

Question 5
