Q1: A coarse-grained soil has a voids ratio 0.75, and specific gravity as 2.75. The critical gradient at which quick sand condition occurs, isA
0.25
B
0.50
C
0.75
D
1.00
ANS:D - 1.00 Water is flowing in an upward direction through the structure of sand 5m thick under a total head difference of 3m. The sand has a specific gravity of 2.55 and voids ratio of 0.55. The factor of safety against quick condition would be?
Ic = G-1/1+e=2.67-1/1+0.67 = 1.67/1.67. |
