The ratio of settlement at any time 't' to the final settlement, is known as
-
The Westergaard analysis is used for -
If L and B are the length and breadth of a footing, e the eccentricity along the length and P and Q are the axial force and bearing capacity of the soil, then, to avoid tension,
-
260 g of wet soil was taken in a pycnometer jar of weight 400 g in order to find the moisture content in the soil, with specific gravity of soil particles 2.75. The weight of soil and remaining water filled in pycnometer without air bubbles was 1415 g and the weight of pycnometer filled with water alone was 1275 g. The moisture content in the soil is
-
The earth pressure of a soil at rest, is proportional to (where φ is the angle of internal friction of the soil)
-
A fundamental equation of void ratio(e), specific gravity (G), water content (ω) and degree of saturation (Sr) is
-
The critical exist gradient of seepage water in soils, is
-
Water content of a soil sample is the difference of the weight of the given sample at the given temperature and the weight determined after drying it for 24 hours at temperature ranging from
-
