01-Select the correct answer 1. An undisturbed sample of sand has a dry weight of 19.06 N and a voilume of 1143 em', The specific gravity of solids is 2.72. Laboratory tests indicate thatt the maximum and minimum void ratios are 0.40 and 0.90 respectively, the relative density of the sand is nearly A. 60% В. 50% C. 70% D. 40% 2. Inorganic soil with PI > 7% & LL<50% and plots a point above the A-line is represented by А. МН B. ML С. СН D. CL 3. If the volume of voids is equal to the volume of solids in a soil mass, then the values of porosity and voids ratio are A. 1.0 & 0.0 B. 0.0 & 1.0 C. 0.5 & 1.0 D. 1.0& 0.5 4. Clay layer A with single drainage and coefficient of consolidation Cv takes 6 months to achieve 50% consolidation. The time taken by clay layer B of the same thickness with double drainage and coefficient of consolidation Cv/2 to achieve the same degree of consolidation is A. 3 months B. 6 months C. 12 months D. 24months 5. Normally consolidated clay settled 10 mm when effective stress was incremed fvom 100 kN/m' to 200 kN/m'. If the effective stress is further increased fram 200 kN/m to 400 kN/m2, then the settlement of the same clay is A. 10 mm B. 20 mm C. 30 mm D. 40 mm
