Question

In a soil mass. Geostatic stresses are due to and Incremental stresses are due to Fill in the missing spaces) Hydro-static stresses are due to [Fill in the missing spaces) Using Mohr circles, illustrate At Rest Condition Active Condition K, and Passive Condition in a soil mass supported by a vertical retaining wall and which yields sufficiently for the active and passive conditions to be mobilized respectively. While steel is good in both and (tension, compression) Concrete is good only in but in tension. (compression, weak). pick the appropriate words to fill the spaces. Steel reinforcement are usually placed in the side of concrete (tension. compression- pick one). Define the Shear Strength of soils Write down the shear strength equation in terms of Total Stresses and in terms of Effective Stresses. Using Mohr Circles, illustrate typical failure envelopes separately for. i. c- soil. purely cohesive soil and iii cohesion-less soil List 3 important applications of Shear strength of soils in Geotechnical Engineering. A sample of soil is subjected to an Unconfined Compression Strength (UCS) Test and the ultimate compressive strength was found to be I20KN / M2. What is the cohesion value of the soil? Complete the following Table which relates Consistency and Compressive Strength for clays: A continuous footing of width b is founded at a depth of below the ground level. Write down Terzaghis General Bearing Capacity Equation and explain the various terms of the equation. Explain the difference between Ultimate Soil Bearing Pressure and Safe Soil Bearing Pressure

Explanation / Answer

1) a) 1)Due to the self weight of the soil mass.
