Soil engineering for highway design

Soil engineering is a part of geotechnical engineering that deals with the characteristics of soil. It also helps to understand the behavior of the soil in different conditions. The basic concepts of soil are studied to check the strength, compressibility, and porosity of the soil. This makes soil engineering an important topic for civil engineering.

please solve question 8, 9 and 10
Write in clean white paper...
A. Answer in True or False 1. A soil has a Cu =1, then it is considered as a poorly graded soil. 2. A soil has L.L360% and P.L-35%, then it plots a point below the A-line in the plasticity chart. 3. A soil described with a symbol (SP) has % passing No. 200 sieve more than 50%. 4. Decreasing water content below shrinkage limit is accompanied with a decreasing in void ratio. 5. Water molecules are considered polar and known as dipoles. 6. Dry Density is the smallest density. 7. Capillary rise is directly proportional to the pore channel diameter. 8. The unconfined compressive strength is twice the undrained cohesion. 9. Piping or boiling occurs when effective stress equals to zero. 10. It is assumed that the secondary compression begins when the primary consolidation ends.
