46. It is another way to accelerate the consolidation settlement of
soft, normally consolidated clay layers and achieve
precompression before foundation construction. It is constructed _____________________________

47. It is also known as a sub-drain, a perforated pipe designed to
pull excessive water from soil and away from areas such as _______________________________
house foundations.______________
48. It is one of the most reliable methods available for determining
the shear strength parameters. It is used widely for both research
and conventional testing.
a. Direct Shear TestIt is the oldest and simplest form of shear test
arrangement. The test equipment consist of a metal shear box in
which the soil specimen is placed._________________

the shear stress developed along the most likely rupture surface

54. It is the failure circle in the case of slope circle and occurred

55. It is the failure circle in the case of base failure.___________
56. It is a method for analyzing the stability of a slope in two
dimensions. The sliding mass above the failure surface is
divided into a number of slices. The forces acting on each slice
are obtained by considering the mechanical equilibrium for the
slices._________________
57. It is a method for calculating the stability of slopes. It is an
extension of the Method of Slices. By making some simplifying
assumptions, the problem becomes statically determinate and
suitable for hand calculations where the forces on the sides of
each slice are horizontal.____________
58. It is a Limit equilibrium technique used to assess the
stability of slopes under seismic conditions. It may also be used
for static conditions if the value of the horizontal load is taken as
zero. The method can analyse a wide range of slope failures as
it may accommodate a multi- wedge failure mechanism and
therefore it is not restricted to planar or circular failure surfaces.
It may provide information about the factor of safety or about the
critical acceleration required to cause collapse.______________
59. It is a technique for evaluating slope stability in cohesive
soils. It differs from Bishop's Method in that it uses a clothoid slip
surface in place of a circle. This mode of failure was determined
experimentally to account for effects of particle
cementation._____________
60. It uses the kinematic approach of limit analysis similar to
ordinary methods of slices.______________
61. The process of identifying the layers of deposits that
underlie a proposed structure and their physical

which can use two hand tools.________________
63. It is another method of advancing boreholes which uses a

the casing is then removed using a chopping bit attached to a
