Answer One Question from each Unit of Part- A (4X14=56M)
Answer 14 bits from Part-B (14x1=14M)
Max. Marks: 70
PART-A
a. What are disturbed and undisturbed samples? Give the factors that influence sample SM
disturbance
b, The internal diameter of a sampler is40mm and the external diameter is 42mm. Will 6M
you consider the sample obtained from the sampler as disturbed or undisturbed?
Given data: D; = 40mm and D> = 42mm
(oR)
a. Explain types of failures.
b. Find the Factor of safety against sliding along the interface for
slope shown in Figure below. Also find the height Z that will give F.S o
sliding along the interface.
a. Explain the Culmann’s graphical method for active pressure. ™
b. Draw the lateral earth pressure diagram of clay depends for active and passive 7M
condition.
(OR)
‘What are the conditions to be satisfied while designing a retaining wall? ™
A gravity retaining wall retains 10 m of a backfill, unit weight of soil =18 kNim’, 7M
angle of shearing resistance =30° with a horizontal surface. Assume the wall
interface to be vertical, determine (i) the magnitude and point of application of the
total active pressure (ii) if the water table is at a height of Sm, and how far do the
magnitude and the point of the application of active pressure changed. Take
submerged unit weight = 10kN/m’
