The document is an internal assessment test for a geotechnical engineering course. It contains 6 questions related to topics like settlement of foundations, bearing capacity, and failure mechanisms in soil. Students are asked to explain different types of settlement, estimate immediate settlement of a footing, list assumptions in Terzaghi analysis, calculate ultimate bearing capacity for different water table levels, distinguish between general and local shear failure, and size a square footing using Terzaghi analysis.

Marks: 25 Date:16.04.17 Duration:75 minutes Staff:VPG & KSK NOTE: Answer Any TWO Full Questions Q. No. QUESTIONS MARKS Explain i. Immediate Settlement ii. Primary Consolidation Settlement iii. Secondary Consolidation Q1. 06 Settlements. Estimate the immediate settlement of a footing of size 2m x 3m resting at a depth of 1,5m in a sandy Q2 soil whose compression modulus is 10 N/mm2 . Footing transmits a pressure of 200 kN/m2. 6.5 Take =0.3 and influence factor 1.06
Q3 List the Assumptions made in Terzhaghi Analysis 04
A foundation 2m square is Installed 1.2m below the ground level in a sandy gravel having unit weight of 19.2 KN/m3 above the water table and submerged unit weight of 10.1KN/m 3. Find the Ultimate Bearing capacity for = 300 when a) Water table is 2.5m below the base of the foundation Q4 8.5 b) Water table is 1.5m below the base of the foundation c) Water table rises to base of the foundation d) Water table rises to ground level Take Nq =22 and N = 20
Q5 Distinguish Between General Shear Failure and Local Shear Failure. 06
A Square footing located at a depth of 1.3m below the ground has to carry a safe load of 800 kN. Find the size of the footing if the desired factor of safety is 3. The soil has the following properties voids Q6 6.5 ratio = 0.55, degree of saturation = 50%, specific gravity = 2.67, c= 8 kN/m 2, = 30o . Use Terzhaghi analysis
