- The flownet for an earthen dam with 30 m water depth consists of 25 potential drops and 5 flow channels. The coefficient of permeability of dam material is 0.03 mm/sec. The discharge per meter length of dam is
- The average coefficient of permeability of natural deposits
- For proper field control, which of the following methods is best suited for quick determination of water content of a soil mass ?
- Which of the following methods is more suitable for the determination of permeability of clayey soil ?
- If the water content of a fully saturated soil mass is 100%, then the voids ratio of the sample is
- Dispersed type of soil structure is an arrangement comprising particles having
- Physical properties of a permeant which influence permeability are
- A cylindrical specimen of saturated soil failed under an axial vertical stress of 100kN/m2 when it was laterally unconfmed. The failure plane was inclined to the horizontal plane at an angle of 45°. The values of cohesion and angle of internal friction for the soil are respectively
- If the volume of voids is equal to the volume of solids in a soil mass, then the values of porosity and voids ratio respectively are
- Unconfmed compressive strength test is
