Question
A. Answer in True or False
1. A soil has a Cu =1, then it is considered as a poorly graded soil.
2. A soil has L.L360% and P.L-35%, then it plots a point below the A-line in the plasticity chart.
3. A soil described with a symbol (SP) has % passing No. 200 sieve more than 50%.
4. Decreasing water content below shrinkage limit is accompanied with a decreasing in void ratio.
5. Water molecules are considered polar and known as dipoles.
6. Dry Density is the smallest density.
7. Capillary rise is directly proportional to the pore channel diameter.
8. The unconfined compressive strength is twice the undrained cohesion.
9. Piping or boiling occurs when effective stress equals to zero.
10. It is assumed that the secondary compression begins when the primary consolidation ends.
