The soil condition in the field is as follows: c = 20 kN/m², = 20°, Y = 20 kN/m³ The maximum depth of unsupported excavation is m.
A soil profile consists of 12 m of gravel overlying a clay layer of 3.5 m thickness,which in turn rests on a 4 m sand layer. The dry and saturated unit weights of thegravel are 17.5 kN/m3 and 20.5 kN/m3. Unit weights of the clay and the sand are20 kN/m3 and 19.5 kN/m3 respectively. Below the sand layer lies impermeablebedrock. If a wide excavation of 3 m depth is to be made in a relatively short time,draw the effective, total and pore pressure diagrams before and a long time afterthe excavation is made. Ground water table is 5 m below the ground surface.
A canal 6 m deep runs through a soil having C = 18 kN/m?, 0̟ = 10°, e = 0.8 and G = 2.72. The angle of slope of canal bank is 45°. If %3D sudden drawdown takes place upto bed level of the canal, what will be factor of safety? For, , = 10°, stability number = 0.108; = 4.89°, stability number = 0.137
A cut is made into a homogeneous soil as depicted in the figure below, at an angle of 60° with the horizontal. Calculate the resisting shear force in kN along the failure plane given that the shear force applied by the overlying soil wedge is 120 kN. The failure plane is at an angle of 40° from the horizontal direction and the ground water level is below this plane. Assume drained conditions for this question.
An embankment for a highway 30 m wide and 1.5 m in compacted thickness is to be constructed from sandy soil trucked from a borrow pit. The water content of the sandy soil in a borrow pit is 15% and its void ratio is 0.69. The swell index is 1.2. The specification requires the embankment to be compacted to a dry unit weight of 18kN/m^3. Determine, for a 1-km length of embankment, the ff; (g) The weight of water per truckload of sandy soil. (h) The degree of saturation of the sandy soil in situ. The dry density of sand with a porosity of 0.387 is 1600 kg/m3. Find the following; (i) The void ratio of the soil. (j) The specific gravity of the soil solids.

A rectangular channel having width 2.5 m and depth 1.25 m is constructed to carry water at a slope of 1.945 x 10-3. What should be the minimum size of bed particle so that no scouring and silting takes place.
A layer of fine sand exists over a stratum of impervious rock. The sand layer is 6.25m thick. The site is flooded and the water surface is 1.25m above the surface of the sand. It is proposed to excavate a very wide ditch through the site and to remove sand to a depth of 2.5m below the existing surface of the sand. One side of the excavation is to be supported by sheet piling driven to a depth of 4.4m below the existing surface of the sand. Draw a flow net and determine the seepage in m³/min per m length for the sand with a permeability of 0.18m/sec.
