Module - 1. Marks CO level

Q1 a) With neat sketch explain wash boring technique

11 1 L3

b) Predict the ground water table given the following data: Depth up to which water
is bailed out 18m. Water rise in 1 day = 0.95 m, II day = 0.86 m and III day = 0.78 14 1 L4
m Use the Hvorslev's method for predicting ground water table.

b)
Distance from impact point to 15 30 60 90 120
geophone
Time to receive wave (sec.) 0.025 0.05 0.10 0.11 0.12 15 1 L5

Determine the seismic velocity for the surface layer and underlying layer. Also
determine the thickness of upper layer.

Module - 2.
Q3 a) A circular area on the ground surface 6m in diameter carries a uniformly
distributed load of 50kN/m2. Calculate the vertical stress at depths of 3m, 6m, 9m 11 2 L3
and 12m. Also plot the variation of stress with depth

b) A water tank is supported by a ring foundation having outer diameter of 10 m and

inner diameter of 7.5 m. The ring foundation transmits a load intensity of 160
kN/m2. Compute the vertical stress induces at a depth of. 4 m. below the centre 14 2 L4
of ring foundation using Boussinesqs analysis.

OR
Q4 a) Two columns M and N 6m apart, load on column M is 400kN and on column N
is 300kN. The load can be considered as point loads. Calculate the vertical 10 2 L4
stresses in the soil 3m below the foundation vertically below M and N.

A circular footing 2m diameter resting on the ground surface transfers a contact

b)
pressure of 150kPa. Sub soil consists of fine sand of 6m deep underlain by 4m
thick clay. The ground water table is I m below ground level. Unit weight of fine
15 2 L5
sand above and below water table are 17.6 kN/m3 and 20 kN/m3 respectively. The
properties of clay are natural water content = 40%, liquid limit = 45%, G = 2.72.
Calculate consolidation settlement.
