Note : Attempt any Five questions. Assume any missing data suitably. 1, 45 Describe with neat sketch percussion drilling for advancing boreholes into sub-soil. What are its merits and demerits ? 5 toy Sketch a thin wall sampler explaining its parts. Lok 4 - What are various types of samples that could * be recored from subsurface ? ‘ 3 ". Qos) W-D-180260 : PTO.2, How do you decide depth and lateral extent of exploration ? Give guidelines for various Civi . Engineering structures. 2 3. fay 4. (a) ») 5. (ey illustrate Coulomb Wedge Theory for active earth pressure and passive earth pressure of dry cohesionless soil with the help of neat labelled sketch a retaining wall showing various forces acting on it. Also plot force polygon in each case. 8 ‘What are tension cracks ? Upto what height, the cohesive soil having undrained cohesion of 1.1 m2, will stand vertically without any lateral support. The bulk unit weight of soil is 1.8 vm}, 4 Draw Mohr circles for Rankine's active and passive states of plastic equilibrium showing direction of failure planes. 5 What is earth pressure at rest ? Derive an equation for determining the magnitude of earth Pressure at rest condition. 7 How would you predict the type of shear failure Occurring in various types of soils? ~ 4 W-D-180260 z(bY What are the modifications recommended in the design parameters by [S Code to take into account the effect of local shear failure ?. 4 AY Explain Meyerhof's concept of useful width for the design of footings with eccentric loads. 4 6. (a) How would you interpet the net loading intensity for a given permissible settlement in case of sands from the results of plate load test? 4 (b) A footing, 2m square, rests on NC clay with its base at a depth of 1.5 m from the ground surface. The clay layer is 3.5m thick and is underlain by a firm sand layer. The clay has the following properties : Liquid limit (w,) = 30%, natural water content (w,) = 40%, specific gravity of solids (G) = 2.70, undrained cohesion (c,) = 0.5 kg/cm?. Determine net safe bearing capacity of the footing. Compute the settlement that would result if this load intensity were allowed to act on the footing. Natural water table is quite close to the ground surface. 8 (2-05/18) W-D-180260 3 7 P.T.O.7. (a) Avhat are the situations that could lead to the development of negative skin friction in a pile foundation ? . : 5 Oy verermine ultimate load capacity of a square pile group consisting of 9 piles, 10 m long, 30 cm diameter, 90 cm c/c spacing installed in a clayey soil having ‘unconfined compressive strength (UCS) = 1.5 kg/cm? and adhesion factor (a) = 0.8. / 7 8. (a) What is the meaning of the following terms : ‘Uniform settlement, Differential settlement, Angular distortion and Tilt ? 4 (b) What are under-reamed piles. Under what circumstances are they recommended. Give various steps for construction of under-reamed piles. 8 W-D-180260 900
