What do you understand by the terms ‘unsaturated hydraulic conductivity’ and ‘soil moisture characteristic curve’? Why are each important in determining the flow of water through soil profiles?
Question 1: Earth whose in situ weight is 112 pcf, whose loose weight is 95 pcf and whose compacted weight is 120 pcf is placed in a fill at the rate of 250 cy/hr, measured as compacted earth. The thickness of the compacted layers is 6 inch. A compactor with a roller drum width of 84 inch is used to compact the material at a speed of 3.5 mph. Assume a 55 min hour operating efficiency. Determine the number of rollers required to provide the necessary compaction rate if eight drum passes are specified for each layer of earth. O 1 Roller O 3 Rollers O O Roller O 2 Rollers

After the heavy rain brought by Irene passed over Vermont, the Winnooski River has raised to over 5 feet above its flood elevation. The flood crest is expected to arrive to Montpelier, state capital, in 48 hours. You are an engineer in charge ofcalculating the flood defense by increasing the levee top elevation. Your estimate calls for 5000 CY of compacted material needed before the flood crest arrives. You have two borrow pit options: borrow pit A is located 1 hour away and has 7 Caterpillar 69C trucks with 30.9 CY capacity available. Borrow pit B is located 30 minutes away but has only 3 Caterpillar trucks with the same capacity. Assuming arround the clock work in the next 48 hours calculate which option will allow for completion of the work within the time constraint given. Records on file show the following soil properties at locations A and B: A: Y= 120 pcf, w = 18% B: Y= 125 pcf, w = 12% In order to assure adequate stability of the levee slopes, it will be required to compact…

What is the largest size of a spherical sand grain that the Stokes’ Law can be used to calculate its settling velocity. What is the terminal settling velocity for the sand in quiescent water? If you want to use a settling basin (with 3 m in depth) to achieve 100% removal for all sand grains of this size in the water, what are the required size (area and volume) of the basin for treating Q=10000 m3/hr. Assuming water temperature is at ~20 0C and the density of sand is 2650 kg/m3.
10,000 cubic feet of soil is excavated for a construction. The dry unit weight of the soil is 102.3 pcf. After excavation, the soil loosened and the void ratio of the soil became 0.874. What is the volume of the excavated soil in cubic feet? Specific gravity of the soil is 2.6.
