Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering - Section 1 (5)

The ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of soil solids in a given soil mass, is known

Factor of safety against sliding of a slope, is the ratio of

Pick up the clay soil group which does not swell when wet from the following :

Under-reamed piles are generally

If Nf, Nd and H are total number flow channels, total number of potential drops and total hydraulic head differences respectively, the discharge q through the complete flow is given by (where K is a constant)

The maximum value of effective stress in the past divided by the present value, is defined as over consolidation ratio (OCR). The O.C.R. of an over consolidated clay is

Minimum size of the particles of silt soil, is
