A coarse-grained soil has a voids ratio 0.75 and specific gravity as 2.75. The critical gradient at which quick sand condition occurs, is

A soft saturated clayey soil tested unconfined gave an axial stress of 50 kN/m²at failure. The shear strength of the soil is:

During a sampling operation, the drive sampler is advanced 600 mm and the length of the sample recovered is 525 mm. What is the recovery ratio of the sample?

A three-hinged semicircular arch of radius R carries a uniformly distributed load W per unit run over the whole span. The horizontal thrust is

In the pin-jointed truss shown in the figure, the static degree of indeterminacy is

A beam ABC is simply supported at A and B . BC is overhanging. Span AB=8m, BC=2m. Point ‘D’ is situated at 3 m from A . Using and influence line diagram or otherwise, find the maximum ordinates at ‘D’ of the influence line diagram for shear at ‘D’

In Limit state of Collapse the maximum strain concrete at the outer most compression edge in bending is taken as
