- Q1In a liquid limit test, the moisture content at 10 blows was 72% and that at 100 blows was 26%. The liquid limit of the soil, is6965355030s
- Q2A soil has a bulk density of 25 kN/m3 and moisture content 10%. The dry density of soil is18 kN/m323 kN/m325kN/m330 kN/m330s
- Q3Most accurate method for the determination of water content of soilSand bath methodOven drying methodPyconometer methodcalcium carbide method30s
- Q4________________ represents the particle size range.Uniformity coefficientCoefficient of curvatureNone of aboveEffective size30s
- Q5The range of silt particle size distribution as per IS classification is2mm-425 micron4.75 mm -2mm75 micron -200 micron425 micron-200 micron30s
- Q6260 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 is14%17%18.1%25%30s
- Q7Plasticity index is defined as the range of water content betweenSemi-solid limit and liquid limitPlastic limit and semi solid limitLiquid and plastic limitLiquid limit and solid limit30s
- Q8If the water content of the soil mass is 100% then the void ratio of the soil isindependent of the specific gravity of soilgreater than the specific gravity of soilequal to the specific gravity of soilless than the specific gravity of soil30s
- Q9If PL of a soil is greater than LL, then the plasticity index isNegativeZerooneNP30s
- Q10If the plasticity index is zero, then the soil issiltsandclayclayey silt30s
