Q6. Examine the test arrangement and the soil properties given below :
The maximum pressure that can be applied with a factor of safety of 3 through
the concrete block, ensuring no bearing capacity failure in soil using Terzaghi’s
bearing capacity equation without considering the shape factor, depth factor and
inclination factor is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
Q7. The values of axial stress (σ) in kN/m2 , bending moment (M) in kNm, and shear force (V) in
kN acting at point P for the arrangement shown in the figure are respectively
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
Loading after removing of cable
Axial stress = 50/(0.2×0.2) = 1250kN/m2
B.M = 50 × 3 = 150kNm
S.F = 50kN
Q8. Identical surcharges are placed at ground surface at sites X and Y , with soil
conditions shown alongside and water table at ground surface. The silty clay
layers at X and Y are identical. The thin sand layer at Y is continuous and freedraining
with a very large discharge capacity. If primary consolidation at X is
estimated to complete in 36 months, what would be the corresponding time for
completion of primary consolidation at Y ?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
