2. A constant head laboratory permeability test an o fines and gives the following values Length of specimen - 254 mm Diameter of specimen -63.5 mm Head difference=457 mm Water collected in 2 min -0.51 cm^3 Determine these values o. Hydraulic conductivity, k, of the soil (cm/sec) b. Discharge velocity (cm/sec) c. Seepoge velocity (cm/sec) The void ratin of the soil specimen is 0.46.
A cubical sample collected from Lobo shoreline (a soft marine silty clay) has been preparedfor testing in a true triaxial device. The dimensions of the sample are 78 mm by 78 mm by 78mm. The sample has a moisture content (w) of 68.5% and a moist density (ρ) of 1.43 g/cm3.The average specific gravity of solids (Gs) is 2.55.Determine(a) the void ratio (e),(b) the degree of saturation (S),(c) the moist density (γ),(d) moisture content (w) if the soil becomes saturated at the same total volume;(e) the density (ρ) of the soil if all pore fluid is dried off with no change in totalvolume.
****PROVIDE STEP BY STEP SOLUTION SOLVING H1 AND H2 VALUES in part B***** A constant head permeability test is performed on soil that is 2 cm x 2 cm square, and 2.5cm long. The head difference applied during the test is 20 cm and 7 cm3 is collected over a time of 100 sec. Provide step by step solution. a) Compute the permeability based on these test conditions and results. b) A falling head test is conducted on the same soil specimen at the same time (t1 – t2 = 100 sec), and the standpipe diameter is 0.8 cm. If the average head during the test should be 18 cm, what are h1 and h2 values, provide step by step solution solving h1 and h2 values.

The following results were obtained from a liquid limit test on a clay using the Casagrande cup device. Determine the liquid limit of the clay. Deter- mine also the liquidity index if the in-situ water content is 38 % and the plastic index. What type of failure would you expect from the soil, justify with the value of LI.
1. A sample of saturated clay was placed in a container and weighed. The weight was 6 N. The clay withcontainer was oven dried for 24 hours at 105C and weighed again as 5N. if the weight of the containeris 1 N, and specific gravity of soil solids is 2.70, determine the a) water content b) void ratio c) bulk unitweight d) dry unit weight, e) saturated unit weight f) submerged unit weight. This is the question of Soil Mechanics.
Provide solution and graphs handwritten please.. will give like..thanks
