1. The consolidation which
refers to the dissipation of excess pore water pressure is termed
as:
2. A
vertical stress of 500 kPa is applied to saturated clay (32m
thick), the excess pore pressure (kPa) at time=0 is:
(a) 0
(b) 500
(c) 250
3. A 8 m
clay layer placed on rock layer can drain water from the top
surface only, the drainage path length (m) is
4. The
current vertical effective stress on a soil is 150 kPa. The past
maximum vertical effective stress is 300 kPa. The soil
is;
(a)
Normally
Consolidated
(b)
Over-Consolidated with
overconsolidation ratio of 2.0
(c)
Over-Consolidated with
overconsolidation ratio of 0.5
5. There will be two distinct
shear stress limits (i.e. peak and ultimate shear strength)
for:
