The largest value of stability number is
In the triaxial compression text, the application of additional axial stress (i.e. deviator stress) on the soil specimen produces shear stress on
A column of section 500 mm × 500 mm and subjected to aload of 2500 KN at service state consider
Unit weight of soil = 20 KN/m3
Angle of repose = 30°
Allow able bearing capacity of soil = 150 KN/m3
Concrete grade : M20 Grade of steel :Fe 415
The minimum depth of foundation will be ________ mm.

Solution
A shear vane of 7.5 cm diameter and 11 cm length was used to measure the shear strength of soft clay. Torque of 1500kg. cm was required to shear the soil.The vane was then rotated rapidly to cause remoulding of the soil.The to rquerequired in the remoulded state was 600 Kg. cm. Sensitivity of the soil is _________ .

In the simplified design of angle iron purlins, which one of the following assumptions would not be valid?
The force in the member BD of the truss shown in the figure below is
-
Solution
At joint D
∑FV = 0
FDB– 4 = 0
FBD= 4 KN (compressive)
Fluid masses subjected to uniform acceleration are analysed using
-
Solution
As fluid masses subjected to uniform accelration behave as a rigid body,Newton's second law of motion is applicable.
An effective storage of a flood control reservoir is
If R is the radius of a main curve and L is the length of the transition curve, the shift of the curve, is
Which of the following methods results in higher accuracy for measuring horizontal distances on rough grounds.
-
Solution
As compared to chaining on flat grounds, the accuracy of tacheometric distance is low but on rough grounds and steep grounds its accuracy is more.
