Soil Mechanics ...

The liquid limit and plastic limit of a soil is 60% and 40% respectively. If the activity of the soil is 0.8 and it behaves like a normally active soil, the percentage of particles passing 0.002 mm sieve is

The deflocculating agent correction in the sedimentation analysis performed using hydrometer is _____ 

The liquid limit and plastic limit of a soil are 60% and 30% respectively. If the natural water content of the soil is 40%. The ratio of consistency index to the liquidity index will be

The soil sample is saturated with linseed oil having saturated unit weight of 2.2 g/cc. If the specific gravity of soil grains and linseed oil is 2.65 and 0.92 respectively, the void ratio of soil is ________ (Assume γ_w = 1 g/cc and answer correct up to four decimal places)

Two soils are tested in a laboratory for the consistency test and the following results are obtained:

Choose the correct statement:

A mass of soil coated with thin layer of paraffin wax weighs 575.60 gms and the soil alone weighs 560 gms. When the soil is immersed in water, if displace 320 ml of water. If specific gravity of soil and paraffin wax is 2.67 and 0.90 respectively and the water content of the soil is 18%. Calculate the degree of saturation (in percentage) of soil sample.

Clayey soil is having a specific gravity of particles as 2.7 and natural moisture content of 20% at a degree of saturation of 60%. The percentage change in the moisture content of the soil when the degree of saturation changes to 80% is (up to 2 decimal places)
