OR
2) .Explain the different shapes and characteristics of wells.

3) Explain the classification of pile based on material and function with neat sketches.
OR
4) Explain the components of well foundation.

5) With neat sketch explain pile load test.

OR
6) Briefly explain the forces acting on well foundation.

7) Design a square pile group to carry 400kN in clay with an unconfined compressive
strength of 60kN/m2.The piles are 30cm diameter and 6m long.Adhesion factor is 0.6 and
factor of safety as 3.
OR
8) Explain conventional and rigid method of design of mat foundation.
9) A square group of 9 piles was driven into soft clay extending to a large depth. The
diameter and length of pile are 30cm and 9m respectively.If unconfined compression
strength of the clay is 90kN/m2 and the pile spacing is 90cm center to center, determine
pile capacity individually and in group. Assume factor of safety 0f 2.5 and adhesion
factor of 0.75.
OR
10) Explain the co-efficient of subgrade reaction in mat foundation.
