Question 1

Which of the following is not correct?

Question 2

A 2m thick deposit of fill weighing 15 KN/m³ is placed over a large area. According to Newmark’s chart increase in vertical stress at 1 m depth below the base of the fill is 30 KN/m². The increase in vertical stress at 2 m depth will be:

Question 3

Which one of the following statements is NOT correct?

Question 4

For a sand embedded in homogeneous clay strata with vertical concentrated loading of 60kN/m², the radius to depth ratio is 0.3. Determine the vertical stress corresponding to the Influence factor of 0.248. Take z= 2m

Question 5

Standard Newmark's influence chart is shown in the given figure. If loaded equally, the area marked 1, 2 and 3 will yield pressure at the centre such that

Question 6

The coefficient of uniformity $Description: E:\Gate\SSC JE Civil Part 1\Practice-Set-2_files\image008.png$ for well graded gravel is

Question 7

In a typical compaction curve as indicated in the diagram, points ‘A’ and ‘B’ have dry densities. Choose the most appropriate statement from the following:

Question 8

In order to determine the relative density of a sand sample, its in-situ dry density was found to be 1.6 gm/cc. Soil sample were then compacted in a proctor’s mould of 1/30 cubic ft. capacity, at loosest and the densest state. The following data were obtained:

Wt. of empty mould = 2100 gm

Wt. of mould + soil in the densest state = 3969 gm

Wt. of mould + soil in the loosest state = 3450 gm

Moisture content = 10%

Then relative density is

Question 9

An increase in compaction effort will lead to which of the following?

Question 10

In laboratory compaction tests the optimum moisture contact of soil decreases
