A 13.0m deep excavation is to be carried out in a 15.00m thick soil layer having a porosity of 0.43 and in which the specific gravity of the soil particles is 2.76. An upward seepage force acts on the bottom of this layer resulting from a hydraulic head of 4.55m. Determine the critical hydraulic gradient for the soil and show that the soil is unstable under these conditions? 6 Marks
- 3.
In a tabular form explain briefly the similarities and differences among compaction, settlement and consolidation? 6 Marks of ??
