- bA circular footing for a circular column is 2.5 diame ter and carriers a load of 1500 Kn. Find the factor of safety against bearing capac ity with respect to shear failure, if the soil below the footing has following paramet ers: c=40 kN/ , ϕ=15°, =20 kN/ , D-depth of footing is 1.2 m, =12.5, =4.5, =2.5
- cA precast concrete pile of 50 cm x 50 cm is to b e driven into clay strata whose unconfined compressive strength is 110 kN/ .compute the length of the pile required to carry safe working load of 450Kn with f actor of safety of 2.5. Assume the adhesion factor α as 0.6

- eWrite a brief note on use of geotextiles for fil tration and drainage function of geotextiles
- aDiscuss in detail various types of boring method s for Soil Exploration
- bDiscuss the Seismic refraction method of soil ex ploration with its limitations
- aA strip footing is 1.5 m wide and its base rests on 1 m below the ground surface. If the soil below the ground level is dense with c=100 kN/ and ϕ=38°, determine the ultimate bearing capacity, assume =20 kN/
- bA footing 2m square is laid at a depth of 1.3m b elow the ground surface. Take unit weight of soil as 18kN/m3 , angle of internal frict ion ( Φ) = 300 and c= 0. Determine the net ultimate bearing capacity using T erzaghi’s method if a)The water table rises to the level of the base. b)The water table is 1m below the base
- aThe pile group consisting of 4 piles, placed at 2.0 m center to center, forming a square pattern. The underground soil is clay, havin g at surface as 60 kN/ , and at the depth 10 m, as100 kN/ . Compute the allowable column load on the pile cap, if the piles are circular having diameters 0.5 m each and length as 10 m

- bWhat are the different shapes of foundation wells a nd discuss the components of well foundations
- aDiscuss the advantages and types of soil reinfor cement
- bExplain various ap plication of soil reinforcement with neat diagrams
