The soil profile at a site is given in figure below. Water in a stand pipe inserted in the sand layer rise to an elevation of +20 m. A real estate company proposes to reclaim the area at this site by pumping out water from the lake and lowering the water level to EL = 0 and then proposes to construct a housing colony at this site. Which of the following observation is correct? -EL = +20 m EL-+10 m EL=0 EL = -20 m EL--30 m- Lake Silt Sand Rock Y=20 kN/m² k= 10 m/s Uniform pore pressure throughout the depth

Soil engineering for highway design

Soil engineering is a part of geotechnical engineering that deals with the characteristics of soil. It also helps to understand the behavior of the soil in different conditions. The basic concepts of soil are studied to check the strength, compressibility, and porosity of the soil. This makes soil engineering an important topic for civil engineering.
